Empowering Minds, Shaping Futures at St Martin's Pre-Prep School

A warm and welcoming start to education

At St Martin’s Pre-Prep, we pride ourselves on fostering critical thinking and creativity from a young age. Each year becomes progressively more structured, to prepare children for their educational journey while still maintaining a fun and engaging environment. We are a happy, nurturing, family-oriented preschool where parents are encouraged to be an active part of our community. Our open-door policy ensures regular communication with parents, providing peace of mind.

Inspiring creativity and effective communication

Our programme allows children to develop their creativity, enhance communication skills, and acquire social interaction abilities through play. At this developmental stage, children learn about themselves through activities such as baking, climbing, running, construction, creating, singing, dancing, and communicating. Foundational literacy and numeracy skills form the basis of our curriculum. Weekly visits to the library and music rooms further cultivate a love of reading and music.

Holistic development - emotional, spiritual and cognitive growth

Our vibrant classrooms are filled with the chatter of happy, busy children. We believe in developing children who are physically, emotionally, spiritually, and cognitively ready to face future challenges. A visit to our Pre-Prep facility will highlight the qualitative difference between child-care and early education, underscoring the importance of a structured educational foundation at this age. Our highly skilled teachers ensure that learning is fun and engaging.

 

During STEAM lessons, children experience the integration of art, science, and mathematics, which makes their learning relevant and exciting. Our curriculum incorporates internationally accredited methodologies, which cater to the unique ways modern children learn, and ensure that they are up-to-date with educational trends and practices.

Where every child is known

At St Martin’s, every child receives individual attention. Our small class sizes ensure that no child is lost in a large school environment, and each student receives the support they need to thrive. Our Pre-Prep school fees cover a wide range of activities and services, including the Kinetix Programme, Play Ball, integrated sports, extra-curricular activities, and digital learning from Grade 000 onwards. Music lessons and art classes in our specially designed art room are also included.

 

Your child will be stimulated daily with out-of-the-box thinking, developing confidence and exploring their potential in areas such as mathematics, music, the arts, and mountain biking. Children in our Pre-Prep school from Grade 000 to 0 receive a cooked meal each day, which is provided at no additional cost to parents.

Happy Parents' Testimonials

I am ever so grateful for St Martins and the way the school community cares so much for and about our children. Both Bokang and Rorisang are both so happy and secure.

Esme Molefe

I attempted to teach Nehema how to ride his bicycle, I got frustrated and gave up. After one hour at mountain biking, he learnt how to ride his own bicycle! This is impressive! St Martin’s is not a cheap school, but what the kids get out of the school is priceless. Thanks for raising Nehema so well!

Dr Jean Musas

We are so thankful to the staff and Mrs Venter for going the extra mile to assist us technically and ensuring that our children can join their classmates virtually and start learning. "Where every child is known" - we have seen this value in action at St Martin's Prep and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all.

Bhekisisa Mahlambi

One of the best compliments a teacher can get is when a student goes home and says ‘Mom I had a great day at school’ Both Membilli and Cielo do this every day. THANKS.

Luisa Perregil

I also wish to specifically express my deep sense of appreciation and gratitude to the headmaster, Mrs Pereira, Mrs Engela and Mrs McGregor for saving the life of Owami and for your unflinching support and the love and care that you have shown so far. This has been amazing and incredible. You have truly demonstrated that St Martin’s is a real Christian School which really cares for its students and their entire family.

Dr Daniel Osei-Fofie

I love St Martin’s with all my heart and soul. Thank you so much for being such a good teacher and mother to all our children. I can already see the difference in my son.
