Vision and Mission

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

Royal Drakensberg Primary School is a small independent school, founded by God’s grace, in KZN’s magnificent Northern Drakensberg. Our aim is to create opportunities for every child to grow aware of their potential and to equip them to act on it. In the classroom, outdoors and in themselves, children are nurtured and encouraged to be their best. A solid academic program, our situation in one of SA’s most beautiful regions, and a dedicated team of staff ensure that children leaving Royal Drakensberg have a strong foundation on which to flourish.
