Maranatha Christian School has grown through to Grade 12 over the years, out of the junior school that was established in 1996 and has full Umalusi accreditation.

The school aims to function as an inspirational educational institution for the community by developing the Christian, intellectual, physical and social aspects of every learner, with emphasis on sound Christian moral standards and self-discipline in a caring environment.

The CAPS curriculum is taught using latest applied technology such as smartboards, computers, google classroom and Chromebooks.  We aim towards three classes, per grade, of approximately 25 learners each. Our Grade 12 learners have been writing the IEB (Independent Examination Board) examinations to obtain the National Senior Certificate since 2021.
