PRINCIPAL
It is such a privilege to be part of Sandton Sinai's transformation. I believe our school has a heart and soul like no other. It’s a place where children are nurtured, educated and given the confidence to succeed in all they do. I am honoured to be heading a Playschool and Nursery School of such a high calibre, and to work with teachers who are at the top of their fields. Seeing happy children arrive at school each day, glowing with excitement to embrace the day ahead, fills my heart with joy.
Children need to be in an environment that protects, yet prepares them for the fast-paced, technological advancements of our time. At Sandton Sinai, we embrace the educational trends that have emerged as a result of these advancements and strive to prepare the children for their exciting futures. The students of Sandton Sinai have the opportunity to continue through our school system to Primary School, in a seamless transition, with a shared ethos and set of values.

We are incredibly grateful to Sandton Sinai and for the opportunity for our children to be part of such a special school community. The school offers an outstanding Jewish education while maintaining an exceptional academic standard. We have been beyond impressed with the thoughtfully designed curriculum and the wide variety of extra-curricular activities available. We especially love the inclusion of chess as part of the curriculum, as it encourages critical thinking and problem-solving from a young age. Everything at Sandton Sinai is carefully considered and intentionally chosen to give every child the best opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. The warmth, dedication, and genuine care shown by the teachers and staff make the school feel like an extension of our family. We feel incredibly fortunate that our children have the opportunity to complete their schooling at Sandton Sinai and look forward to many wonderful years ahead.
Grant Family
As a family with three children at Sandton Sinai, aged 1, 4 and 7, we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a special community.
The true measure of a school, for me, is that every Sunday my children ask whether it's a school day because they can't wait to go back. They love their teachers, their friends, the creativity, the learning, the birthday ring celebrations, the special visitors, and the sense of belonging. School genuinely feels like a second home to them6pm you
Our youngest has only just started at Sandton Sinai, and the transformation has been remarkable. In just a short time, our once very clingy little boy has become a confident, chatty, independent and incredibly happy one-year-old. The excitement he has each morning is impossible to miss.
Our Grade 1 daughter thrives in the Foundation Phase and loves interacting with the older primary school children, her "big friends". It is wonderful to see children of different ages learning alongside one another with such kindness and respect.
As parents, we deeply value the balance Sandton Sinai provides. Academic excellence is clearly a priority, and we feel our children are receiving the very best educational foundation. At the same time, they are growing up with strong Jewish values, a genuine love for Judaism, and an understanding of kindness, compassion and community that extends far beyond the classroom.
Every child and parent we've met reflects the values the school nurtures. There is a warmth and care at Sandton Sinai that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss.
Our only wish is that Sandton Sinai continued all the way to matric. As our children grow, our biggest concern isn't whether they're happy now—we know they are. It's wondering how we'll ever find another school that can match the exceptional environment they've been so lucky to experience.
