Ambleside School of Hout Bay

We are an independent private school, registered with the Western Cape Education Department and affiliated to Ambleside Schools International.  Embracing the educational philosophy of British educator Charlotte Mason, we offer:

  • enthusiastic teachers
  • small classes, from pre-school to Grade 10 (Grade 12 in 2013)
  • minimal homework in the junior grades
  • varied extra-mural program
  • affordable private schooling

Ambleside provides a broad and life-enriching curriculum of inspirational and disciplinary subjects - students are presented daily with idea-rich material through direct encounter with literary living books and living art, music, science, mathematics, geography, history, language, nature and handwork.  We strive to offer our students the richest materials along with our highest expectations of what they can accomplish.
