What makes Gaia special

Gaia was founded to make Waldorf education accessible to children across the vast economic spectrum and not just within reach of the privileged. As such we draw children from different socio-economic backgrounds. A testament to its diversity is that Gaia was hailed as the most diverse Waldorf School in South Africa


We offer a Playgroup, Kindergarten, and a Primary School from Class 1 to Class 7.
