St John's College
St John's College. A world-class Christian African School
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.

Remembering Dr Gus Mills (1946 – 2026)
Michael George Lyme 'Gus' Mills (Alston 1963), who died on 12 July 2026, was one of Africa's foremost authorities on wild carnivores. His four decades of fieldwork in the Kalahari and Kruger reshaped how South Africa's national parks are managed, and his writing and photography brought that work to a far wider audience than science alone could reach. An Old Johannian of the class of 1963, he was awarded the College's Golden Eagle Award in 2023.
