St John's College

St John’s College has a long and respected history of academic excellence in South Africa. The school believes in a holistic approach to education and aims to provide each pupil with a strong academic grounding while offering enough space to ensure positive, personal growth.

Instilling a sense of self-worth is key to this academic philosophy, and underpins a broader preparation for life as a citizen of the world. The expansive, yet traditional academic programme continues to produce generations of creative and accomplished individuals each year.

Culminating in either the IEB Matric or Cambridge A-Level examinations, the commitment to excellence at each level of the school structure ensures that the majority of our pupils achieve a University pass and that we remain a leading academic institution.

The programme also provides training and workshops for teaching staff to improve the learning experience in the classroom.

Technology in education
