The school has six classroom blocks and a community hall which houses the library and the computer centre at present on our 40 hectare piece of land. Our vision is a campus consisting of villages that are linked to the central admin block, computer centre, library, design and technology unit, lecture theatres, music block, art, and chapel and hall by a series of paths that wind through the Lowveld bush. Southern cross uses the Revised National Curriculum and simply drops it into the natural environment. Should a learner need to change to another school, they will do well academically, and as they will have learnt many life skills, this will place them ahead of their new peers.

There is a preschool - 4, 5 and 6 year-olds. The primary school is from grade 1 to 7. Grades 8 and 9 is now the Senior phase. Further grades will be added in the future.
It is also intended that they graduate with further certificates of competence via the South African National Qualifications Framework system, for related studies in the field of ecology, conservation, agriculture, hospitality and tourism. A natural flow from the school would be to the Southern African Wildlife College located near the Kruger National Park.

Education is not about simply imparting information; it is about providing our children with the necessary skills, on an academic, sporting and practical level. Wherever possible, pupils get the opportunity to become involved in activities directly linked to specific career paths. These may include participation in service provision, front line management, leadership and business skills, marketing, veterinary procedures, game capture, hunting, tracking, agricultural studies etc. at nearby farms, game lodges, game farms and reserves.

The pre-school, Grades 00 and Grade 0, will follow a well-balanced Perceptual Training Programme as well as instruction in THRASS. Whilst the emphasis will be on preparing pre-schoolers for mainstream schooling whilst using leading developmental techniques, the children will also derive great enjoyment from their surroundings and outdoor activities. The programme for the Preparatory and Senior School will follow the Revised National Curriculum, but will be adapted to suit the vision and mission of the school as well as the needs of its pupils.
