Imhoff Waldorf School

Founded in 1996, our beautiful school is located in Kommetjie near Cape Point at the tip of South Africa. We are a not-for-profit, co-educational and non-denominational school, and our parents and teachers come from all cross sections of society, supporting 300 pupils from Toddlers to High School Matriculants (ages 2-19) . To support inclusiveness, we have structured our fees so they are affordable to parents from a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds. The School serves the communities of the far Southern Cape Peninsula, including the communities of Masiphumelele and Ocean View. We also support a crèche in Masiphumelele by mentoring the teachers, supporting their feeding scheme and offering craft materials. Currently some 10% of our 300 or so enrolments are 100% sponsored, either by third parties or from the current fee paying parent body. Our High School opened its doors in 2010 and 6 years later in 2016, of our pioneering 12 matric writing students, Bachelors passes (University/degree entrance) were awarded to 10 students of whom 3 were in the school's sponsorship and scholarship program! 2 of our High School teachers were also recognised last year by the Western Cape Education Department for their contributions and students' achievements. So, from humble beginnings to excellent results in just 21 years! Our school receives no funding whatsoever from the South African Government’s Department of Education. The school is self-sufficient, totally off the grid, reliant on solar and wind energy, and attained Silver in 2016 having been registered with WESSA Eco Schools since 2006. The school is also an accredited Ashoka Africa change-maker school.
