The first bricks of “ONS EIE” were laid in 1971. This was the initiative of the Benoni ”Skakelkomitee”. In 1981 the school was governed by the department of Education and was then handed over to the “Kultuurraad”. The school was in their hands until they gave it to the community of Benoni, which implies that there is currently no owner besides the parents. “ONS EIE” is an article 21 company and is there for a non profitable organization. The directors are parents, former parents and members of the community of Benoni. The school grew to 9 classes from as young as 4 months to grade R.
