CAPELLA HOUSE SCHOOL

Capella House is a progressive independent pre- and primary school situated in the South Peninsula of Cape Town... At Capella House we hold the space for the Heart in Education. We believe that we are human beings together, regardless of age, position or status, and that our primary need as human beings is for connection. When we all feel secure within a community, authentic and meaningful learning can begin via the children's interest. The "Image of the Child" lies at the Heart of our emergent curriculum approach and sees all children as competent, capable and curious and creative... Capella House supports children to develop a deep knowledge, love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment. This occurs through personal development (meaning a better understanding of oneself), an open sharing of ideas and a wise approach to discipline. When there is an opportunity for the voice of each child to be heard, an environment evolves where children feel free to express..
