A school where children are seen for who they are, encouraged to share and listen, curiosity is celebrated, and learning grows through relationships — with people, ideas and the world around them.

Welcome to Soul Action’s Primary School — at the heart of Ballito, on KwaZulu-Natal’s East Coast — offering high-quality education to children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds through a sliding-scale fee structure. Our approach is child-centred and inquiry-based, drawing on Reggio-inspired principles and enriched through a curriculum that includes literacy (English and isiZulu), Mathematics, the Sciences, the Arts and creative expression, and 21st Century Skills.

Three ‘teachers’ — one community of learning.

At Soul Action, we believe we grow together as we learn together, from three ‘teachers’: the children, the adults (staff, parent-carers and the wider community), and the environment.

Different Children

We believe children are not simply the recipients of knowledge; they are sources and co-builders of new knowledge. That is why we encourage children to learn through the intercultural relationships they build with one another — sharing ideas, asking questions, collaborating, listening, reflecting, helping and discovering together. We value the different experiences, perspectives and ways of thinking that each child brings to our learning community.

Different Adults

We believe teachers, parent-carers and the wider community all have a role and responsibility in shaping the lives of the children in our school. Our staff see themselves as facilitators of inquiry, using the curriculum as a framework while responding to children’s interests, experiences and questions, rather than simply imparting knowledge. They value, guide, encourage and support children as they develop the confidence, character and independence to become active, lifelong learners.

Different Environments

We believe the spaces and materials through which children learn have a part to play in their education. Which is why, as a school, we are intentional about investing in, creating and nurturing learning environments that invite children to interact, explore, investigate, question, make, critique, remake and innovate — recognising that both the built and natural environments can stimulate curiosity and become a starting point for learning.
