St John’s College is unique in the South African school context: it is a boys’ school that welcomes girls in the earliest phase of education at the Bridge Nursery School, and again at the final stage in Sixth Form, the oldest post-matric Cambridge International centre in the country.
We warmly invite prospective families to contact the Admissions Office to book an exclusive tour of our magnificent campus, an excellent opportunity to meet our teachers, explore our world-class facilities, and gain unique insight into the values and ethos of St John's.
Applications are submitted online only. A non-refundable application fee of R500 is required to complete your submission.
We welcome applications to all grades. However, the following grades are the main entry points into St John's:
-
St John's Bridge Nursery (co-educational): Grade 000 and Grade 00
-
St John's Pre-Preparatory & Preparatory (boys): Grades 0 and 1
-
College (boys): Grade 8
-
Sixth Form (co-educational): Cambridge AS and A Levels | Post-Grade 10
While the Preparatory School is not a traditional entry point into St John’s, places do occasionally become available. These are filled from our waiting list, and families are encouraged to apply if interested.
Places may also become available in other grades across the schools. We encourage families to contact the Admissions Office to check current availability.
Admission to St John’s College is at the discretion of the Heads of the respective schools. Applications are reviewed carefully, and offers are made based on space availability, the student’s potential to thrive at St John’s, and alignment with our values.
All families joining St John’s College are required to sign a Parent Contract, which can be viewed or downloaded below. This contract outlines the responsibilities of parents, guardians, or payers and helps establish a clear and effective partnership with the school.
The Parent Contract is renewed annually, and agreement to the Terms and Conditions is a prerequisite for readmission in the following academic year.
Please note: St John’s uses unique names for its Grades and Forms. Please carefully review the Grade or Form you are applying for to ensure you select the correct level for your child.
