Our aftercare is committed to rendering a support service to working parent in a safe and child-friendly environment, by taking care of our learners after school and during holidays.
At Mountview we believe that an effective education does not come from memorising or lecturing. For the learners to actively take part in the learning process the benefits are countless. This learning process entails analysing and collaborating – in order to retain and comprehend.
We offer a holiday programme, for our students, on our premises. A qualified teacher and assistant will offer educational lessons to the children each day, making their holiday extra fun.
During the sixties, the rapid expansion of the community in George necessitated the establishment of a permanent nursery school. In January 1962, the new nursery school was opened under the name of George Nursery School with 25 children. The fees were R12 per child, per term, and included the daily provision of milk and fruit. The first teacher was Mrs. Brenda Southey, and her salary was R50 per month.
During 1968, large premises with a house became available at 91 Mitchell Street. It was converted into a school with two classrooms. The name of the school was changed in 1980 from George Nursery School to George Pre-primary School / George Preprimêre Skool. In 1986, plans were drawn up to connect the two new sections, which were situated on either side of the old house. On 28 November 1987, twenty-six years after the establishment of the first school, the newly rebuilt George Pre-primary School was officially opened by Mr. JC Heunis, Minister of Development and Planning.
In 1999, the property in Mispel Lane was purchased and converted into three classrooms to accommodate the 3- to 4-year age groups. The Governing Body decided to buy the property adjacent to 91 Mitchell Street in 2005. It was converted into admin offices and an extra play area for the learners.
George Pre-primary School has always been a school with a vision. We are committed to a holistic approach to attaining quality education in a rapidly changing world.
In 2020, the initiative was taken to expand the school to accommodate Grade 1–3 classes in the future. In 2022, the dream became a reality with the opening of Mountview Primary. Grade 4 and 5 were added in 2024 and 2025 respectively under the Genius Academy umbrella, and Grade 6 is planned for 2027.
