Welcome to Nyukani
Our vision is to change society.
Meet Our Founder
Our vision to change society is only the beginning.

“When you build a house, you build it for yourself. But when you build a school, you build it for the community. If you can be a vessel to also help other people, for me, that is the greatest thing that can ever happen.”
Our Philosophy
Our vision to change society is only the beginning.
Brief Introduction
Nyukani is an independent (private) fee-paying school that is based in section A in Giyani. Our school is actually three schools: pre-school, primary and high school. We offer innovative educational opportunities for learners from Grade R to Matric.
Our Values
At the core, Nyukani is not just a school. We believe quality education is the ultimate equaliser. No matter where you come from, education, hard work and collaboration can change where you end up and the extent that you make an impact in society.
Our Mission
The world has become a village. The way we work, the people we have access to and the information at our disposal is all within our fingertips, and that has far-reaching implications about how we should support and develop our learners.
The jobs that exist today will likely become extinct in the near future. The people we work and compete with are likely to come from other countries and cultures.
Therefore, if we are to truly change society, we must turn our sights towards developing global citizens. Future leaders who will participate confidently on the world stage.
Our Strengths
At Nyukani we are blessed with exceptional educators with a broad range of skills beyond just teaching. Our educators are committed to challenging the status quo of education, particularly in rural areas.
Nyukani is also endowed with world-class infrastructure, both in physical and e-learning facilities. This makes it possible for Nyukani to offer a comprehensive and rich learning experience that develops all aspects of a child and literally goes beyond the classroom.
Above all, our greatest asset is our vision and commitment to changing society.
What Makes a Nyukanite?
A Nyukanite is not just a teacher, a learner or a parent. A Nyukanite truly believes that quality education, hard work and collaboration are the pillars for creating rich and meaningful lives.
Completing the academic curriculum is just one of many aspects of our school. Innovating, thinking outside the box, enjoying our cultures, living passionately and fully – these for a greater part of what it means to be a Nyukanite.
