Welcome to Safely Anchored Small School

Safely Anchored is an independent Christian primary school in Sunningdale, Cape Town. Our journey began in 2015 as a dedicated aftercare. Today we extend that same heart-centered care to learners from Grade R to Grade 5 and phasing to Grade 7 over the next two years.

We meet our families where they are and walk alongside them. Our approach is rooted in today, knowing there is beauty and wisdom in each phase of development. When content and care are driven with intention, children truly learn to love learning.

"Nurturing growth in a secure, loving environment where every child is known by name."

"Small ‘homey’ feel school... Christian education with a really good outlook of seeing the beauty God has created within each child, looks at the child holistically where Joy is on the report card. We're very happy."

"I highly recommend Safely Anchored School. As a small school, they are able to focus on each individual learner and provide the personal attention that children need to thrive. Since joining the school, I have seen my child show improvement in various areas of development, both academically and personally. What I particularly appreciate is that it is a Christian school that focuses on much more than academic achievement alone. They place great value on character development, emotional well-being, and nurturing each child as a whole person."

"Safely Anchored has completely changed our lives and Logan's outlook on schooling. When I drop him he is happy when I fetch him, he is tired from learning and playing. The next morning he is happy to do it all over again. Being Christian based and learning about Jesus at school has also made a significant impact on Logan's behaviour. We are thankful to send our son to school every morning, knowing that he will be nurtured in the best way possible."

"The perfect small learning environment with a big heart. I love how SASS sees each child as an individual and I love the biblical foundation, guiding them to know their identity in Jesus first and foremost."
