Bet Shalom Christian School

A nonsensical school that promotes bullying and tge headmaster is incompetent.

This school is a serious disappointment, especially for one that presents itself as a Christian institution. The values it claims to uphold are nowhere to be found in its leadership or daily operations. Staff are treated poorly, with little to no support, which is likely why teachers come and go so frequently—we’ve lost count of how many have passed through in such a short time. This alone should be a clear red flag about the principal, the owner, and the entire management team. It’s evident they are out of their depth and have no real grasp of what it takes to run a school with excellence or integrity. Even more concerning is the state of the boarding facilities. Serious issues and unacceptable incidents occur regularly, yet they are consistently swept under the rug with no accountability or transparency. Instead of addressing problems and protecting the students, the leadership chooses to protect the school’s image. Parents and staff alike deserve better. If you’re looking for a school that lives out its Christian values and prioritizes the well-being of learners and educators, this is sadly not the place.

The school isn't accredited with Umalusi. It's Christian in name only. As yourself would the white owners put their children in their own school. Probably not!

There is a lot of racism and discrimination at the school. The school isn't accredited. People here come and go quickly. The school is tied to the church. It's an abnormal place to work. It's not accredited with Umalusi. The word Christian is used to draw black people to the school. In reality they only want your money.

Parent-Admin communication. The Parent-Teacher communication is amazing i cannot complain for 2years now. However the Parent-Administration communication they can consider having a forum to discuss certain things that they as administration find effective but from the receiving end as Parents they may not know needs improvement. Recent example the Gatepasses.That should have been handled better through proper communication telling us parents that on opening day if you have any outstanding balances your child will not be allowed in class,that could have saved heartbreaks from little souls that were excited for first day of school and got turned back. In that then the responsibility of the parent to settle balances lies with the parent by keeping their child at home They had us queuing in the rain when we did not know exactly what is happening.Traffic was crazy because we all had to use one gate. Implementing this in phases/per class could have been a smooth process. The new gate (Genesis gate) needs to be fixed as cars are hitting the pavement blocks as they go in and out which is not good for cars. Have someone control traffic at pick up and drop off.
