Welcome to The School's Home Page

Godly character makes the joy of learning credible and indeed the most valuable gift a parent can give their child. At the Plettenberg Bay Christian School, we encourage character and individualized learning as a Divine Mandate. Diagnostic testing assures that every student finds that place which maximizes learning.

Plettenberg Bay Christian School provides students from Grade R to Grade 12 with a quality education. We believe now more than ever that the individualized learning methodology of ACE (which has stood the test of time) is indeed an effective tool in equipping students to fulfill their calling. Our students have once again received great reports from both Universitys and the professional domain and we are delighted at their success.

ACE
There are 203 schools and 674 registered home schools operating under the ACE system in South Africa , some since as early as 1984. The Plettenberg Bay Christian School opened its doors in 1987 and is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year! The local Christian schools are registered with the Department of Education and adhere to the National Curriculum statement offering all major school subjects. The Learning and Support Material and the methodology of the ACE system are used in the schooling process.

World-View
True Christian education is not a negative thing; it is not a matter of isolating the student from the full scope of knowledge. Isolating the student from large sections of human knowledge is not the basis of a Christian education. Rather it is giving him or her the framework for total truth, rooted in the Creator's existence and in the Bible's teaching, so that in each step of the formal learning process the student will understand what is true and what is false and why it is true or false. It is not isolating students from human knowledge. It is giving the tools in the opening the doors to all human knowledge, in the Christian framework so they will know what is truth and what is untruth, so they can keep learning as long as they live, and they can enjoy, they can really enjoy, the whole wrestling through field after field of knowledge. That is what an educated person is. - Francis A. Schaeffer

Deuteronomy 6:4 . Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you arise. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
