About Us

Our Vision and Mission

Pecanwood College is an independent, combined school of excellence. Our outstanding facilities and qualified, dedicated teachers offer the passion and enthusiasm to reach each child in a sensitive, caring manner. This excellence extends to a balanced programme of academics, sport, culture, service and leadership.
In this dynamic, happy learning environment, supported by a Christian-based value system, pupils are able to reach their full potential academically, physically, socially and spiritually to emerge as well-balanced, productive individuals, who are “Prepared for Life”.
Graduates of Pecanwood College will thus emerge as fully-rounded individuals, moulded by the College’s ethos and opportunities, ‘prepared for life’ and its challenges.

Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct has been developed according to the South African Schools Act,1966. It promotes the Mission Statement of the College and works towards a well-balanced, broad education for learners, a professional environment for educators and an atmosphere for the extension of the College ethos. It applies to all aspects of school life and incorporates both behavioural goals and ethical norms.
It is accepted that this code is a dynamic document, requiring frequent deliberation, and possible revision, in order to satisfy always the needs of the College community. To this end, you are invited to submit any suggestions that may be reviewed from time to time by College management and the Board of Directors.

Our Founders

Pecanwood College was the vision of late Petro Geerdts. She wanted a quality private school in Hartbeespoort. She made it her goal which she achieved when investors – Centurus, built our school. We were the first school to be built in the Centurus Group. Our school was built on a farm and the old farm house was our initial school. We opened our doors in January 2005 with 54 students from Gr0 to Gr7 with 7 staff members. The High School opened in 2006 in our first new building. Farm house to fabulous!
