Vision & Values
APPS is a small, English-medium, Christian girl’s primary school.
Our Vision is to build trusting relationships between students and teachers which encourages intellectual curiosity and independent thinking in addition to academic excellence. Our Mission is to focus on academic development, as well as provide our students with life skills to navigate the rapidly changing world around them.
Our values are evident in the thoughtful design of the school. Around every corner, you will see diversity and inclusion. Our sports fields call to the athlete, our music department echoes inspired tunes down the corridors and our STEAM Centre confirms that we are leaders in primary school education.
As a Christian school, we are supportive of our students participating in their own expression of worship, as they embrace all the cultural, ethnic, spiritual, and social diversity of South Africa with open arms and an open mind.
Our ethos is guided by the teachings in Galatians 5:22-23, which we feel underpins the values needed to live a good life, across all religions and cultural groups.
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

A Beacon of Excellence
APPS is celebrated for our excellence in academics, sports, culture, and STEAM. APPS girls are highly sought after by top independent high schools across the country, and many receive scholarships for their skills and talents in academics, sport and culture.
Our school is founded on the principles of consultation and participation of our school community. APPS parents elect the Executive Committee who, with the Head, shape our policy and manage finances.
The Head is responsible for the management of the school and our staff are encouraged to continuously develop their skills and competencies. This interactive structure, together with a variety of voluntary parent service groups, provides a powerful community experience.
APPS is overseen with a financial approach that upholds the standards of excellent education, with small classes and individual attention, while ensuring competitive remuneration for its staff.
