Harvest Christian School changes its name

Formerly known as Harvest Christian School, its evolution into Frontline Christian School is more than a name change.

A local school long known as Harvest Christian School underwent a transformative journey, emerging with a new name and an invigorated vision.

Frontline Christian School is not just a mere name change. It represents a profound shift in the institution’s outlook and purpose, redefining its commitment to holistic education.

The driving force behind this transformation is a reimagined vision for the school. Beyond academic excellence, Frontline Christian School envisions its graduates equipped with a strong academic foundation and a character rooted in Biblical principles.

This combination will empower the learners to be catalysts for positive societal change.

The name Frontline was chosen to embody the role of learners as pioneers and change agents in their communities.

Kirk Retief, the director of Frontline Christian School, invited like-minded parents to join hands on this journey. He emphasised the institution’s commitment to nurturing children who excel academically and grow into responsible, faith-driven individuals capable of making a lasting impact.

The metamorphosis had permeated the institution’s branding and its school uniforms.

Retief acknowledged the school’s history that spanned three decades, noting that the transformation was built upon its foundations.

The curriculum is rooted in three key aspects: character and leadership, apologetics, and inductive Bible study. The institution strives to equip its learners to stand firm in their faith and articulately defend it.

Recognising the significance of a balanced education, sports and cultural dimensions are seamlessly integrated into the curriculum. This approach nurtures physical well-being and teamwork and fosters an appreciation for diverse arts and traditions.

The school culture stands on four pillars: faith, family, excellence (continuous improvement), and character. These values are woven into its daily fabric, cultivating a nurturing environment.

Frontline Christian School sees a partnership with parents as vital because it ensures the values instilled in school are reinforced at home.

With the evolving educational landscape, the high school division offers a hybrid learning model. It merges traditional classroom teaching with online resources and learning.

“The aim is to prepare students for the tertiary level and the professional world, where hybrid learning and engagement are the norm. We believe that acquiring these skills sets learners up for success and sets them apart from their peers.

“The educational journey at our school begins as early as four months in the preschool and seamlessly progresses through to high school, ensuring a consistent and high-quality educational experience. With our revitalised vision and commitment to holistic growth, Frontline Christian School will make a lasting impact on its learners and the world they will eventually shape,” said Retief.
