At Bertharry English Private School, learners are encouraged to become involved in the school and have ample opportunity to participate in activities that suit their specific needs and interests. They are provided with an all-round education that will help to prepare them for further tertiary studies and the world of work.
Our vision, beyond providing quality education, is hinged on empowering our students to acquire, demonstrate, articulate, value knowledge and skills. This attribute, we believe, will support them as life-long learners, to participate and contribute to the global world and practice the core values of the school, respect, tolerance, inclusion and excellence. We endeavour to provide the highest programs possible from early childhood through high school, to nourish the body, mind, and soul of each child in our care.

Established in 1991, the school was named after its co-founding siblings, now Directors, Bertha and Harry Kumwenda. With a very humble beginning of a township crèche, and with only three learners, the school first opened its doors in Endulwini, at St Mathews Catholic Church premises. The school improved each passing year with the introduction of the Primary school phase as the children graduated from the pre-school. The school prides itself as the first black owned private school, in the township, to have English as its Home Language and Afrikaans as the First Additional Language.
