#ProudToBeSAHETI
SAHETI School was established in 1974 by a group of founders under the leadership of Advocate George Bizos. Its doors were open to all, welcoming widely diverse communities to share in its values-driven, universal education.
The campus has evolved as part of a unique design, which has attracted much attention and even professional recognition in the form of awards from the Institute of South African Architects. From the outset, SAHETI’s approach to education was dynamic and innovative. The school has become known for its enlightened teaching methods, consistent academic excellence and rich cultural life.
The expansive grounds have allowed for development of enviable sports facilities, to cater for a wide variety of activities. Today this vibrant school ranks amongst the top independent schools in South Africa. Its enrolment of about 1300 boys and girls is spread over a Playschool, Pre-Primary School, Primary School and High School.
SAHETI is situated in Senderwood, Bedfordview, on the eastern outskirts of Johannesburg.
“The school motto, ‘Know Thyself’ dates back to ancient Greece and was expounded upon by the likes of Socrates. For me it speaks to the need for self-reflection, through which we will begin to understand our need for God and our dependence on each other. I believe that a good understanding of self will also spur us on as individuals towards training our bodies, mind and character so that we may maximise our God given potential and fulfil the calling upon our lives.”
– Mr Warwick Taylor (Former Executive Headmaster 2014-2022)
Happy Mandela Day.💙
At SAHETI, Mandela Day isn’t about a single act, it’s about everyday choices to lead with empathy, serve with intention, and stand for something bigger than ourselves.
Today, our students and staff honour Madiba’s legacy with acts of kindness and moments of meaning — a reflection of the values we live by every day.

Eight SAHETI Life Sciences students, along with SAHETI alumna Sofia Ferretti (Class of 2020) Saheti Alumni Association – now a 5th-year medical student at WITS – had the privilege of being invited into theatre to watch cutting-edge robotic surgery performed by world-renowned surgeon Dr Lance Coetzee. This fantastic opportunity was facilitated by SAHETI alumna Despina Andreanis (Class of 1988), a Specialist Physician, Endocrinologist and Bariatric Physician.
The students were completely captivated by the experience and could not stop talking about it afterwards, having witnessed the removal of a cancerous prostate first-hand. Dr Coetzee generously guided them through the procedure, explaining each step in real time.
An unforgettable and inspiring glimpse into the future of medicine.

🔬 Hands-on experience is fundamental to teaching and learing!
Our Grade 10 Life Sciences students took their studies beyond the classroom with a visit to the Maropeng – Cradle of Humankind. The excursion provided a unique opportunity to consolidate their understanding of Hominid evolution, connecting learning with real-world discovery.

Our Grade R children had a truly memorable experience with the wonderful team from Wits - University of the Witwatersrand recently.
Led by Jonah, the visit brought real fossils and ancient bones into our classrooms, sparking curiosity and excitement. The children loved exploring, asking questions, and stepping into the shoes of junior palaeontologists for the day.
🦖A hands-on learning adventure that brought the prehistoric world to life!🦕
