Welcome to

Bedford Country School is a unique, independent school situated at the foot of the Kagga Mountain range in the green heart of the Eastern Cape midlands. In this safe and nurturing setting, our children are given the freedom to come to school barefoot, to climb trees, to play in the mud and most importantly – to be children.

We believe children learn best when they are having fun, which is lived out in our school motto:

“Learning and loving it!”

Bedford Country School is a place where a sense of excitement and a love for learning can be felt emanating from the classrooms. Where every child has a sense of belonging, where we respect nature and where teachers nurture and encourage every child to reach their full potential.

We offer comprehensive academic and extra-mural programmes to small classes and strive towards developing the mind, body and spirit while preparing our children for the day that they move on to High School.

“A good education is a foundation for a better future” – Elizabeth Warren

Exciting first week of NeuroNet!We have just started our Busy Bees (Grd RR) - Grade 3 classes on the NeuroNet program. NeuroNet is a research-based, movement-focused learning program designed to help children (typically ages 5+) develop brain-body coordination for better reading, writing, and math fluency. Using rhythm, motion, and technology, it aids children with ADHD, autism, or developmental delays by fostering independence and academic skills, and is an overall excellent tool for the development of neurotransmitters. #learningandlovingit #movingandlovingit#helpingkidsreachfullpotential ...
