Message from the Principal

It is with deep gratitude and heartfelt joy that I welcome you to Xanadu Private School – a place that is truly more than just a school. It is a nurturing home where faith, learning and purpose grow together, rooted firmly in the love and grace of our Heavenly Father.

When I began my journey at XPS on 9 July 2019, I knew we were stepping into a season of growth and transformation. Today, six years later, we are blessed to stand within a brand-new school, filled with renewed hope and God-given purpose. This school, originally envisioned and built in 2007, is stepping boldly into the fullness of the dream it was founded on – and what a blessing it is to be part of that journey.

Our foundation, “Rooted in Faith”, is not just a phrase – it is a way of life here at XPS. We are blessed with passionate, professional and deeply faithful educators who see their roles not merely as teachers, but as those called to make a Christ-centred difference in each learner’s life. In every classroom, teaching is anchored in academic excellence and wrapped in the love and truth of God’s Word. Our learners do not just gain knowledge – they are nurtured in Godly values, the fruit of the Spirit and an understanding of their identity in Christ.

At XPS, we believe every child is uniquely created by God – fearfully and wonderfully made – with gifts and talents meant to be discovered, nurtured and celebrated. That is why we are committed to developing every learner spiritually, academically, culturally and physically, at a pace and in a way that honours who they are and who they are becoming in God.

We often speak of the mustard seed – so small yet destined to grow into something great. That is how we see our learners: planted in faith, nourished with love and truth, growing into strong, purposeful young men and women who will go on to be the change we long to see in the world.

We are also deeply grateful to be part of the Doxa Deo Educational Trust – a non-profit organisation rooted in the Word of God and dedicated to making private, Christ-centred education accessible to more families. Doxa Deo, meaning “the Glory of God”, carries a vision to see our communities and cities transformed by God’s presence, and this vision is lived out every day here at XPS.

Because we are a non-profit school, every cent of your school fees is reinvested directly into our learners – into their academic journey, sporting opportunities, cultural experiences and the development of world-class facilities. It is our promise to steward these resources with integrity, always aiming to offer your child the very best environment in which to grow.

I warmly invite you to partner with us – not just as parents, but as co-labourers in building a school that stands as a beacon of light, love, excellence and faith in our community.

May you feel the warmth of welcome, the peace of God’s presence and the excitement of all that lies ahead.

Be blessed, always.

Warm regards,
Mr Phillip de Bruyn
Principal – Xanadu Private School
