Zenzeleni School

About us

Zenzeleni was founded in 1999 by the Centre for Creative Education, as part of its strategic mission to facilitate Waldorf-based schooling across the many strata of South African society.
Today the school ranges from Grade One through Grade Seven (lower and upper primary), with a student body of about 250 learners. In 2010 we celebrated the sixth Grade Seven to graduate from the school!

At Zenzeleni lessons are taught in an interesting way, so that the children enjoy their school days, exhibiting an eagerness to learn. The lessons are lively, drawing the children into a fullness of activity.
Our specially-trained teachers know that a child learns not only through her head, but also through her heart and hands. Therefore the lessons include artistic work like painting, drawing and music, ring games, drama and crafts.
Waldorf education empowers children with true knowledge, creativity, and the ability to take initiative.
