Is your child spiritually fit?

Growing in Faith, Character and Purpose

Are your children being prepared not only academically, but also emotionally, socially and spiritually for the world they will grow up in?

At John Wesley School, we believe that education is about more than books and results. It is also about helping children develop strong values, confidence, compassion, responsibility and a sense of purpose.

As a Christian Independent School, our faith is central to who we are.

We believe in God and in a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible provides guidance for how we live, how we treat others and how we make choices.

Our Christian values include:

• love and kindness;
• honesty and integrity;
• respect for others;
• empathy and compassion;
• responsibility for our actions;
• forgiveness and grace; and
• knowing the difference between right and wrong.

We want our learners to grow into young people who are confident in who they are, who care about others, and who are able to face life with faith, courage and good values.

Faith Is Part of Everyday School Life

Christian teaching is woven naturally into school life.

Scripture is shared and discussed with learners, and children are encouraged to think about how Christian values can be lived out in practical ways at school, at home and in the wider community.

We also encourage parents to continue these conversations at home, helping children to understand that faith is not only something we talk about, but something we live.

Our Methodist Heritage

John Wesley School is a ministry of Pinetown Methodist Church, and we value the close relationship between the school and the church.

Members of the church take part in:

• staff devotions;
• school assemblies;
• special services and events;
• Easter celebrations; and
• Christmas services.

This relationship has been part of the school’s identity since its early years and continues to strengthen the Christian foundation of our school community.

Partnering With Parents

Parents play the most important role in shaping a child’s values.

At John Wesley School, we see our role as working alongside families by supporting and reinforcing the values of faith, love, respect, kindness and responsibility.

For families looking for a school where Christian values form part of everyday learning and school life, John Wesley School offers a caring environment in which children can grow academically, emotionally and spiritually.

Faith. Learning. Character. Purpose.
