El Shaddai Christian School

What a wonderful day at our Pre-Primary School Mini-Market!

Our young entrepreneurs had an absolute blast running their very own market stalls, selling delicious snacks, toys, game tickets and fun activities. With the support of parents and grandparents, the children proudly welcomed customers, handled sales, and learned valuable lessons about buying, selling, and serving others.

One of the highlights was seeing the creativity on display, with many students designing colourful signs and advertisements to attract customers to their stalls. We were also delighted to welcome some of our Primary School learners, who eagerly joined in the fun and supported the budding business owners.
The day provided a meaningful hands-on learning experience, helping our students develop confidence, communication skills, creativity, and an early understanding of entrepreneurship.

A huge thank you to all the families who helped make the day such a success.

💙Well done to all our young entrepreneurs!

Why do our parents choose ESCS for their children? 💙

We asked some of our parents, and their answers all pointed to something deeper than academics alone.

From our strong Christian foundation and values-based education to our commitment to nurturing the whole child, families choose ESCS because they want their children to be known, challenged, encouraged, and equipped for life.

We are grateful for the trust our parents place in us, and for the partnership we share in helping each student grow academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you to the parents who shared their stories and reminded us of what makes the ESCS community so special!

Get ready to "Move It, Move It" at the most anticipated live musical theatre event in Durbanville! 🦓🦁
Our annual High School Culture Dramatix production is back. This year, we’re bringing the jungle to Durbanville, Cape Town with a high-energy staging of Madagascar – A Musical Adventure Jr.

About the Show:
DreamWorks Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR., featuring music and lyrics by George Noriega and Joel Someillan, with a book by Kevin Del Aguila, follows Marty the zebra and her friends Alex, Gloria, and Melman as they are unexpectedly swept from the safety of the Central Park Zoo into an unfamiliar world, eventually finding themselves stranded on the island of Madagascar. What begins as an adventurous escape soon becomes a meaningful journey of self-discovery, as each character is challenged to step beyond comfort and confront who they truly are. At its heart, the production explores the powerful theme of “Discovering Who You Were Created to Be,” inviting audiences to reflect on identity, purpose, and the courage it takes to embrace the unknown in order to find where one truly belongs.

At El Shaddai Christian School (ESCS), every student is known, valued, and welcomed.

Each morning, our Deputy (Primary School) Headmaster and Headmaster stand at the gates to personally greet students as they arrive. It's a simple gesture, but one that speaks volumes about the culture of our school.

We are grateful for leaders who take the time to connect with our students, fostering a sense of belonging, encouragement, and community from the very start of each day. These daily interactions remind our students that they are seen, known, and cared for.

There’s something truly special about being part of the El Shaddai Christian School family.

Recently, our Pre-Primary School students and parents came together to celebrate Teacher Linda’s birthday, showering her with love, appreciation, and thoughtful blessings.
We are so grateful for the ESCS community where meaningful relationships are built and every individual is valued.
