Standing with those who serve
Christian ministers, church planters and gospel workers, particularly those serving in under-resourced communities, often make significant financial sacrifices. Quality education for their children can feel out of reach. The Alan Noble Bursary Fund exists to change that — enabling the children of faithful ministry workers to receive a richly Christian, academically rigorous education at Three Peaks School.
An independent Christian school in the heart of Cape Town’s City Bowl, in Gardens, is an unlikely reality. Space in the city centre is scarce and costly, and a school like this would not ordinarily find a home here. Three Peaks took root through a partnership with the church where Alan served for 26 years, whose grounds have been the school’s home since it started in 2015 — and the place from which it continues to grow. His open door made possible what would otherwise have been out of reach.
This bursary honours that legacy by directing support toward a cause close to Alan’s heart: making Christian education accessible to the families who need it most.
Three Peaks School NPC is a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO 930070898). South African donors can request a Section 18A tax certificate.
Every gift is ring-fenced for Alan Noble bursaries. None of it goes to operating costs, school development or the general Fee Support Fund.
An act of partnership
Christian ministry — especially in under-resourced contexts — often requires significant financial sacrifice. Your gift honours those who serve Christ faithfully by investing in their children’s education.
You partner with a child whose life and learning will be shaped for years to come — through a rich curriculum in a Gospel-centred environment, where life-giving habits take root.
You stand alongside a ministry family whose faithful service strengthens the church across South Africa — lifting a burden so they can continue to serve.
You join a community of givers who believe that quality Christian education should be accessible to all — and especially to those who serve.

Can I fund one child entirely?

Does the school have other needs?
Yes. Giving to Three Peaks supports three areas:
- The Alan Noble Bursary Fund helps the children of Christian workers attend Three Peaks. Gifts made on this page go only to this fund.
- The Fee Support Fund offers fee assistance to families on the basis of financial need.
- School development: as the school grows, so do our facility needs. Gifts help us make improvements and plan for expansion.
To give to school development, find out more about our general Fee Support Fund, or to talk about a larger gift, please email partnerships@threepeaks.org.za.
