d’Overbroeck’s School

Students and families often ask us why we’re different from other schools. The answer? It’s because we always focus on the individual in all aspects of school life.

We stretch our students academically, but make sure they’re having fun at the same time. Most importantly, we’re preparing all our students for their next step by giving them independence, developing their skills beyond the curriculum and encouraging mutual respect between students and teachers. In the words of the great South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu – “A person is a person through other persons.”
