The Elements Library is a wonderful and dynamic space designed around the four elements (air, water, fire, and earth) reinventing reading in a dynamic and wonderful space for our children to encourage reading and stimulate learning.

The Elements Library is a child centric space for exploration and imagination, allowing diversity of experience and multiple teaching and learning opportunities for children and teachers to enjoy.  Each lesson in The Elements Library is an exciting, explorative, and magical experience.

At King David Sandton, we have a well-equipped Coding and Robotics Lab – an innovative, STEAM education facility that is changing the way teachers teach and pupils learn. Inspiring problem solving, effective communication, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and digital citizenship. This Makerspace is set for equipping our pupils with the skills they need to be able to adapt to our ever-changing world. Some of our amazing “gadgets” include iPads, Beebots, Cubroid sets, Sphero robots, Lego Robots, a 3D printer and so much more!

We know education needs to change. In addition to the amazing tech “gadgets,” our pupils learn the fundamentals of computer science, artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented reality and 3D design & printing which benefits all pupils, no matter what opportunities they pursue in the future. Learning to make interactive animations, code-art, games, webpages, apps, 3D modelling and so much more on Code.org, Scratch, Blockly, Minecraft, TinkerCad and various other platforms, encourages creativity and makes learning fun.

Educating pupils in the 21st century has demanded new ways of thinking about the arts, culture and creativity. It is clear that fostering creativity is a priority in many areas of modern society. At King David Sandton we believe that creative thinking and innovation are essential components in a pupil’s social, emotional and academic growth. Aside from our cultural offering, which is timetabled into our academic programme, we also offer an extensive extra-curricular programme which aims to nurture the creative minds of our pupils. This programme includes public speaking, debating, drama, choir, art and dance. Participation in these activities encourages pupils to break out of their comfort zones, grow in assertiveness, think more profoundly and to come out on the other side as a more confident and well-rounded individual.

Jewish life and learning are part and parcel of the King David schooling system. It is our belief that all our children should be imbued with a love for their heritage and a love for the land of Israel.
Our aim at King David Sandton is to make the Jewish life and learning alive and vibrant, something that the children can relate to and understand. We aim to equip our children with a strong Jewish foundation from a young age which will enable them to live their lives as proud Jews.
