Kronendal Primary is a co-educational, government school with a rich heritage dating back to 1901. Today Kronendal has over 380 students, with an average class size of 28. Kronendal prides itself on providing a safe, happy and motivating environment which allows children to achieve their academic, sporting and creative potential and build friendships for life.

Kronendal Primary School is subject to the South African Schools Act. A Board of Governors, consisting of parent representatives as well as teaching and non-teaching staff, governs the school.
