Years in Operation

Kingsway Christian School was established in 1986 and is run as a non-profit independent primary school from Grades 00 to Grade 7. The School is partly subsidized by the Gauteng Department of Education and a greater portion of its income is through corporate and individual donations.

The School is under the control of the Board of Directors and School Management Committee (SMC) which meets monthly for operational matters and decisions. Kingsway School is also a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) with tax-exempt status.

Donors are entitled to claim deductions in terms of Section 18A of the South African Income Tax Act.

Staff members

To achieve positive learner outcomes, we believe that our educators should be equipped with recent teaching methodologies. We always endeavour to train our educators in ICT, Trauma Management and Online SACE Accredited courses.

One of the biggest challenges we face is Educator Remuneration. Our educators are remunerated at around 80% of their government colleagues, however, despite this challenge, we have not had any staff turnover for the last 5 years.

It is our wish to have our educators remunerated at par with their government colleagues, our school greatly appreciates donations towards the payment of educator salaries.
