About our school

Mission

Domino Servite School is committed to creating a happy, Christian-based environment wherein all learners are encouraged to demonstrate respect and responsible citizenship, academic excellence and Bible-based moral values.

Vision

The Domino Servite School community endeavours to provide an educational program that prepares all learners to develop their talents, confidence and self-respect. We strive to achieve high academic standards that will equip our learners to fulfil a useful role in society with excellence and integrity.

Our Heritage

Domino Servite School was established in 1986 to meet the educational needs of children associated with KwaSizabantu Mission in KwaZulu-Natal, where the school is located. It is a co-educational, Christian academic school offering education from pre-primary through to high school, serving both day scholars and boarders.

From its inception Domino Servite has remained committed to excellence in all fields. The foundational values of the school encapsulated in the mission statement are respect, responsible citizenship, academic excellence and Bible-Based moral values.

The active involvement of the parents and KwaSizabantu Mission enriches the lives of learners through spiritual training and support.

The school badge depicts Domino Servite. The cedar tree signifies the school’s close connection with KwaSizabantu Mission. The Bible and the sword represent the word of God and the flame symbolises the fire of revival.
