About The School
A Brief History
Good Hope Seminary Junior School is one of the oldest schools in Cape Town. It was originally Vredehoek Junior School.
The original GHSJS was previously in Breda Street and as a result of dwindling numbers; it amalgamated with Vredehoek Primary and thus adopted the name Good Hope Seminary Junior School in 1990.
GHSJS was initially a Junior School for “White girls only” and through time it has taken on a multicultural flavour, accommodating boys and girls from all walks of life. GHSJS is currently striving to make a positive difference in the lives of the children we serve.
GHSJS is a multi-cultural, multi-lingual school, aiming to provide a holistic curriculum to a broad spectrum of children, who represent our Rainbow Nation.
