I started home schooling my children in 2008, but in 2014, I switched over to the ACE Curriculum. I was amazed and blessed by the content and way it trains and lead the children to know God, true to His Word, while giving scientifically accurate and up to date learning material, that will put our children on the map in the world one day.

Each day, whilst teaching my children through this Curriculum I desired in my heart for more children to be trained in God’s ways through school using this curriculum.

The Lord kept on inspiring me to start a Christian School using this God honoring Curriculum, training children in His Truth, that there is no other way to the Father and to salvation, except through Jesus Christ. After much prayer and counsel from God fearing friends and leaders, I endeavored to undertake this journey to have as many children as we possibly can, being taught in the ways of the Lord as He has instructed us.

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds, tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Since then, we saw many miracles, of which I need to share a few. As I stepped out in faith and made known this plan, Carlene De Wet stepped up and said, “How can I help?” She became my right hand in many practical ways, but especially in taking up the privilege and great task of teaching our first Grade R group. The foundation she laid in those little ones are still evident in their academics and their lives today.

Just after Carlene, Belinda Venter stepped up and said she had always desired to be part of starting a school. She became prominent in the administrative part of the school. The Lord used her gift of organizing and administration in a wonderful way, thus laying a strong foundation in the way the school is still being administered today.

Both these precious women were crucial in the foundation laying of the school. Through a lot of prayer, they helped make humongous decisions, stood in faith with me and just kept on believing that God can make a way in times there seemed to be no way. I would never have been able to do this without them.

Another wonderful miracle was God’s provision. We had no money in our account. We needed R100 000 just to build and get a playground ready. We were desperately seeking God’s intervention as we had no other means to accomplish this goal. Someone inspired by God approached me and asked how much we needed to start the school. When I revealed the amount, the person broke down crying and confessed that was the exact amount God instructed her to give into the work of God. The exact amount was confirmation that the Lord had spoke to the person to give it for the school’s start.

In October 2016 we had only 3 applications, and for us to open the school we needed at least 10 children, just to make it possible to start and cover only basic costs. Through prayer and intercession, God provided and opened Hartswater Christian School with 17 learners!

We serve a faithful, great, and wonderful God Who supplies our every need as we listen and obey Him.

May Hartswater Christian School continue to train children in the way they should go, that when they are big, they will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

May The Lord Jesus always stay the Head of this School and May His name always be glorified.
