About Us

We at Noah’s Ark Christian Academy believe that learning should be fun in order to be successful. When children are provided a safe environment and given the opportunity to learn through self-initiated and teacher directed activities in small and large groups, they learn through experimentation, inquiry and exploration by actively discovering concepts at their own pace. Our programs support the child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth and encourage the continued growth and education of families and staff.

Noah’s Ark Christian Academy is a South African run and based daycare, pre and primary school striving to provide the most excellent care and education to the children of Pietermaritzburg. Our goals are threefold:

• Our daycare goal is to alleviate the stress of parents searching tirelessly for care for their children both before school age and after school age. We understand that when a new mother has a baby, you are torn between providing for the family, going back to work and taking care of your baby. With Us, you no longer have to worry about where your baby will be until you get back from work because we provide excellent care for children from the age of 14 months to 2 year olds.
• Our pre-school goal is to create a program that takes care of your 3-5 year olds by providing each preschooler with the best opportunities for a solid foundation at their academic career. Everything we do in this area pushes towards that. Our curriculum and activities create a well-balanced combination between classroom learning and hands on experience which brings their academics to life.
• Our primary goal is to provide a friendly, encouraging and very secure environment for all our primary students (6 – 9). We work hard to instill excellence, honor, respect and compassion into our students and consider them vital in preparing our students to be hard working, community minded citizens of the future.

Our mission of providing exceptional childcare and education at an international level for a local affordable price is met by a variety of activities creating an open, fun environment that is not only inviting and child stimulating, but creative, safe and affordable.

Operation Schedule:

With our experienced and well-trained staff ready to go, the school is open bright and early from 06:00 and runs throughout the day until 18:00, Monday through Friday. We operate throughout the year for our daycare clients who work and have no other safe childcare alternatives. 

Location:

Noah’s Ark Christian Academy currently located at number 383 Burger street, Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal. Along with classrooms, Hall, Waiting Area, Ground and outdoor activity area, the center also boasts an on-site kitchen. Our cook used to serve a variety of nutritious meals for our daycare and preschool students, but because of Covid-19 the meals have been cancelled.  As a school we take pride in ensuring that all our children are well taken care of, allowing them to grow and develop at a healthy rate. Another part of their development involves our children developing good sleeping habits. To ensure this, a supervised nap on a cot provides a chance to rest up for the afternoon’s activities for all our daycare and lower preschool students.
