Mandate at a Glance

Every child is unique, capable and able to excel.

Mandate Private Schools provides superior quality education aimed at raising responsible, dedicated, honest, hardworking and self-confident young people whose love for mankind is pure and whose love for God is supreme.

We recognise that every child is a unique being, capable and able to excel diligently and with integrity. This belief shapes the attention given to each learner and the standards we maintain across Pre-School, Primary and Secondary education.

Our students are exposed to modern global teaching and learning facilities so they can engage confidently with the wider world without losing their cultural heritage. Learning therefore goes beyond examination success: it develops discipline, independence, responsibility, creativity and sound judgement.

As a day and boarding community, Mandate also provides pastoral care. Trained staff guide students personally and help them grow into considerate, responsible young people prepared to lead and serve.

Our motto: Educational Legacy for Posterity.

Founder of Mandate Private Schools

Learning Leadership

Guided by purpose, discipline and care.

Mandate's founder established a learning community centred on sound education, close guidance and the character foundation young people need to serve society well.

The school's philosophy is that education is a fundamental right and the best legacy parents can give their children. At Mandate, knowledge is joined with self-discipline, independence, concentration, self-esteem and responsibility.

“It is better to build your child now than to build a house, for the unbuilt child will destroy the built house in future.”
