History

Lesedi was started by Rev. Arjan and his wife Mrs. Inge De Visser during their time of mission work in Soshanguve under the Lord’s guidance. Thus, the school started to operate on the 11th of January 2000.

The school was started to complete a three-legged structure (home, church, and school) important for bringing up children in the fear of the Lord.

The school has reached several learners within and outside its immediate Free Reformed Church setting.
