Who We Are

Beyond the
Curriculum.

Founded in June 2017, Thobeka Buswana School for Girls was built on a conviction that education must liberate — not merely inform. We are a school designed as a third space: a site of agency, safety, and belonging for girls who deserve more than what conventional schooling offers.

Our approach honours indigenous knowledge, ancestral wisdom, and the land as teacher. We are preparing girls not for the world as it is, but for the world as it should be.
