The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is a global Christian Educational Organisation. ACSI was founded in 1978 in the USA, with our Head Office in Colorado Springs.
Cambridge programmes and qualifications set the global standard for international education. They are created by subject experts, rooted in academic rigour and reflect the latest educational research.
Welcome! We are a family of believers, who eagerly seek to live out the ways of Jesus, while building authentic Christian community and relationships. We fellowship in both small groups of friends and family and larger gatherings on Sunday.
Because we believe so deeply in family, community and relationships as the strong foundation to everything we do together as a church.
The gryphon is a mythological creature found in many cultures, with a legendary passion for discovering and guarding vast fortunes. Half lion, half eagle, the gryphon was renowned for its noble conduct, foresight, clarity of vision, swiftness and skill in carrying out tasks. As with the mythical gryphon, we are committed to the same ideals with the same passion and purpose within the investment community.
The 99er is our flagship annual cycling event — hosted right here by El Shaddai Christian School in Durbanville, in association with Smile FM. More than just an exciting race on the Western Cape cycling calendar, it’s our biggest fundraising initiative of the year and a celebration of the incredible ESCS community.
On race day, over 350 volunteers — made up of our parents, staff, learners, alumni, and past parents — work together to create a safe, well-organised, and unforgettable experience for riders and supporters alike.
It’s this spirit of unity, generosity, and shared purpose that makes the 99er so much more than a cycling race — it’s a living example of what happens when a community comes together for a Kingdom cause.
