My daughter was previously doing homeschooling and didn't enjoy it. She is now absolutely thriving at New Heights ! Miss B Smith - Lily's teacher is absolutely amazing! So caring and loving. I love how hands-on the teachers are with the kids. The school is amazing and so peaceful. A home away from home. My daughter loves getting up every morning and going to school. The staff are ALL so friendly! And are more than happy to go the extra mile, and it's such a lovely environment.

Since my daughter Andiswa Mdunge started at New Heights Primary School, we have seen a big improvement in her learning. She is more confident and able to complete much of her work on her own. Although we still help her with homework, the teachers have clearly improved her learning abilities. We truly believe sending her to this school was a great decision. Thanks,Andiswa’s Mom💝❤️

Our son has a difficult journey through out his schooling. We were starting to lose hope that he would get a school that will be suitable for him. We knew that he was very bright and just couldn’t express himself. Within a couple of weeks at New Heights we saw a different side of him. He became confident, told us about what he learnt at school each day. He spoke about his teacher and the progress has been nothing short of amazing. He has in every sense of the words reached “New Heights” and for that we are grateful. Sikelela’s parents.

Because I see the work, they are doing and the potential the school. Thank you to all the teachers and stuff, we appreciate you and keep up the amazing job, it doesn't go unnoticed. 🙌
