Boarding Life

A home away from home

A co-educational independent boarding facility in Mpumalanga — safe, structured and full of warmth.

Pastoral Care

Led by house staff who know every learner

Each residence is led by a senior house master or mistress, supported by assistant boarding staff who live on campus. They supervise study, manage the daily routine and, most importantly, keep a watchful eye on the wellbeing of every child.

Parents are kept close through regular contact, visiting weekends and open communication with the boarding office. Distance never means disconnection.
