St John's College
St John's College is a world-class Anglican school founded in 1898, just twelve years after the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand, and situated in Houghton, Johannesburg.
From Grade 0000 through to Grade 12, with the option to read Cambridge A Levels in Sixth Form, St John's numbers among South Africa's pre-eminent schools, with a reputation for excellence that extends well beyond our borders.
What sets us apart is not measured in accolades alone; it is found in our commitment to developing young people rightly trained in body, mind and character.
This is a school with a soul, where values, tradition and excellence come together.
