Situated in Walmer, Gqeberha, Theodor Herzl Schools were founded by the Port Elizabeth Jewish community in 1959.
Theodor Herzl Pre-Primary, Primary and High Schools together form one of South Africa’s top independent co-educational schools, with a significant academic record.
Pupils come from a wide range of social and ethnic backgrounds, resulting in a vibrant melting pot of cultures which nurtures a remarkable acceptance and appreciation of one another.
The Theodor Herzl community is friendly, warm and unpretentious with a shared ethos and educational direction, balanced with a liberal respect for individuality.
Theodor Herzl is a multi-cultural School, so pupils of all faiths are welcomed and respected, whilst the Jewish festivals, life lessons and values are maintained.
The dedicated and professionally qualified teachers strive to nurture development and growth by learning through play within a structured curriculum.
