St James Preparatory School

St James Preparatory School, located at 61 Berg Street Belgravia in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a nurturing and intimate educational environment catering to children aged 3 to 13. We are housed in a stunning Heritage building on the outskirts of the Johannesburg CBD, offering an ideal setting for young learners. With a small student body of just 67 pupils and an average class size of 8, we ensure personalized attention and a close-knit community feeling, making every child feel valued and supported.

Our curriculum spans from Grade 1 to 7 under the Cambridge International framework, renowned for its rigorous and globally-recognized standards. In addition to core subjects, we place a strong emphasis on holistic education, integrating Philosophy, Sanskrit, Art, and Music into our programs. For our youngest learners aged 3 to 6, our foundation phase combines the proven Montessori methods with elements of the St James Foundation Phase curriculum, promoting independent learning and a strong foundation in early childhood development. Our dedicated and passionate teaching staff is committed to offering every child the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive and enriching environment.
