Registered, rigorous and rooted in Christian values.

EduPlanet Independent School began in 2016 in Struandale, Gqeberha, and is registered with the Department of Education for Grade RR to Grade 12.

Our story

A school built in Struandale, for Struandale.

EduPlanet Independent School began in 2016. We are a registered independent school in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), South Africa, focused on providing high-quality education and healthy discipline, whilst instilling strong moral values.

Qualified and dedicated foundation phase and intermediate phase staff bring the CAPS curriculum to life through fun lessons designed to encourage participation and engage children. A private external examination board means that our learners need to work harder, aim higher and achieve more.

Our ethos

Strong moral values, based on Christian principles.

Our ethos is not a page in a prospectus. It sets the tone for how children are spoken to, how discipline is handled, and what we celebrate.

Our mission

Through Christian values we set a positive example in education by promoting self-discipline and excellence in learning. To empower learners by developing a sense of uniqueness in a stimulating environment that instils responsibility and pride. To celebrate success and make children feel valued.

Our core values

  • Respect
  • Kindness
  • Love
  • Joy
  • Helpfulness
  • Patience
  • Unity
  • Gentleness
  • Spirit

Our approach

Minds, bodies and spirits.

At EduPlanet we value a variety of cultural and sporting activities. School life should be more than simply academics, so we take a holistic approach that builds the whole child.

  • High-quality teaching with healthy, consistent discipline
  • A stimulating environment that instils responsibility and pride
  • Cultural and sporting activities alongside the curriculum
  • Success celebrated, so children feel genuinely valued

Independent, and registered

What that actually means for your child.

Independent does not mean unaccountable. It means we answer to an outside standard as well as to you.
