Kainon Primary

About Kainon

Kainon School is a progressive, independent co-educational Christian school with small classes and dedicated teachers, providing a nurturing environment for learning. Kainon School is a member of ISASA (Independent Schools Association of South Africa). Kainon School was founded in 1923.

Our Christian morals and values permeate everything we do – from our strong academic programme in line with the National Curriculum to our well-rounded sport and extra-curricular activities. Being a smaller school all our children are included in the cultural activities and sports teams and events whether this is their strength or not. We offer learner support during the school day and private after school extra tuition.

In keeping with the Kainon tradition, we acknowledge the time honoured values of In Usibus Felicitas (Happiness in a Useful Life) in all we do. Kainon includes bible based values and morals as part of our Life Orientation in our daily curriculum and aims to support parents in the challenging task of parenting.

Individual Focus

Although the small classes and parental involvement allow for individual attention and hands-on learning, we are not a Remedial School. Changes in our society and education require that we are strong, that we are visionary in our leadership and that we utilise every resource to its fullest so as to ensure top quality education to every deserving pupil.

Our aim at Kainon is to encourage children to achieve to their best potential in all areas. Following the National Curriculum, and ensuring that we meet each child where they are at, the well-qualified and experienced teaching staff are enthusiastic in creating a love for learning and enquiry both in and out of the classroom.

Focus on Individual Strengths and Capabilities

A love for learning stems from a happy, encouraging and nurturing teaching and learning environment and a hands on approach in group and individual tasks, with a focus on each child’s individual strengths and capabilities. Each teacher aims to provide a classroom atmosphere that exudes excitement, interest and keenness.

An Independent School with a Christian Focus

As an Independent School, with its Christian focus, Kainon has the freedom of creativity along with its earnest focus, that adds increased depth and widened scope to the academic curriculum. Learning is about having fun and making sense of the world around us. Our aim at Kainon is to have happy, confident and well-rounded children step into High School after their Grade 7 year, with ease, enthusiasm and self-assurance.
