Build yourself.
Build your future.
Established in 2010 on a quiet hill in Walkerville, BESA is a small, family-owned high school where every learner has a genuine sense of belonging. A home away from home.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality education, care and supervision for all learners with the goal of assisting them to grow, develop and achieve their true potential.
We started in 2005 as an aftercare centre, and opened as a high school on 13 January 2010 with 51 learners. Our auditorium was once a microlight hangar.
