The King David Schools were established by the Jewish Community with the specific purpose of advancing and maintaining Jewish Life through providing the children with a Jewish education.

The King David Schools have consistently achieved outstanding academic results in public examinations. Year after year the results of matriculants in our High Schools appear in the headlines, highlighting an impressive number of distinctions and an outstanding pass rate.

King David Primary School in Sandton is a Jewish primary school for Grade R to Grade 7 situated in the quiet Sandton suburb of Woodmead. The school features: two fully equipped computer labs; media resource centre including a Library and Audio-visual centre; Israel centre; and a Science laboratory. Our state of the art sport facilities encompass amongst other things a 25 m swimming-pool, four all-weather tennis courts, three all-weather netball courts and playing fields, all with covered stands and seating areas.

As a Jewish school, and part of the South African Board of Jewish Educators, we encourage a Zionistic curiosity to build and entrench an understanding of our Jewish roots and our beloved homeland within a warm and nurturing educational environment.

King David employs the services of trained sports instructors, art specialists, music specialists, drama specialists, a librarian, and I.T. co-ordinator as well as an excellent teaching staff. We offer a wide variety of cultural extra murals and competitive sports and encourage each learner to find his niche.

Our pupils spend many lunch hours in our lush and beautiful gardens and these peaceful surroundings also encourage amazing creativity when the children use these gardens for group and project work.

Culturally, our art room and music centre are the hub of Jewish ideology. Potential is encouraged and nurtured and annual exhibitions and concerts reveal the wealth of talent we have in our school.

Recently, we have completed the new entrance to the school - a simple yet magnificent feature which, with its functionality and attractiveness, opens on to a view of our school, reminding us of Israel by day with its Jerusalem-like stone and fountains, or by night with its subtle lighting and inviting ambience. It is a magical entrance to a unique and special environment called King David Sandton.
