The main playground

Country space, in the middle of Pretoria East.

Highland Kids sits on a one-hectare smallholding on Leander Road in Olympus. Brick paths wind between old shade trees, the classrooms open onto a long veranda, and the lawn goes on further than little legs can run.

Our teachers and assistants are experienced, and they care for every child with patience and real warmth. We teach in English and Afrikaans, and Christian values run through the whole day.
