Joy To The World Schools · Since 1989

Building leaders of tomorrow

Christ-centered education from crèche and preschool through high school, at Sebothoane, Leribe.

Our story

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”

Joy To The World Pre-School and Primary School were founded in 1989 by Drs. Christy and Rohini Knight, rooted in the belief that knowing God is the start of wisdom. The High School followed in 1994, built on the conviction that vibrant faith and rigorous learning together form a powerful foundation for life.

Today the schools work with families to grow children in faith, character and curiosity, preparing them academically, spiritually and morally to lead and serve their communities.
