BOSKO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
We want children at Bosko to learn, to lead and to make a difference in their community, their country and the world.
BOSKO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
OUR HISTORY
Mario Celeste Marchiò are the founders and spiritual parents of Bosko Christian School. The school came into being in 1987 when an alternative to the available education options in Hermanus was sought for their children. The mandate for Bosko that Mario and Celeste felt the Lord gave from the beginning, was, “Feed” – as the word Bosko means exactly that in the original Greek scripture in John 21:15. From an initial intake of eight children, the school grew to over one hundred and, through the years, has helped with the academic career of hundreds and hundreds of learners. Mario and Celeste have since handed over the running of the school to a capable team of educators who continue, to date, with the divine assignment given to them in 1983.
The whole philosophy of the school is not simply to teach the children “how to make a living” but, particularly, “how to live”. To this end, Mario and Celeste continue overseeing Bosko Christian School.
