A School Built on Purpose

Prifa Private School is a private primary school located in Ongha Etenda, Ohangwena Region, Namibia, operating under the Ongha Circuit. Founded in 2023, Prifa was established with a clear mandate — to provide accessible, affordable, and quality education to every learner regardless of their ethnicity, culture, creed, or background.

In just a short time since opening, Prifa has grown into a vibrant learning community. We currently offer education from Kindergarten through to Grade 9, following the Namibian Junior and Senior Primary School Curriculum. English serves as our medium of instruction, complemented by Oshikwanyama and Afrikaans to honour the linguistic heritage of our community.

We serve both day learners and hostel (boarding) students, ensuring that children from surrounding areas have equal access to the quality education they deserve.
