and other Covid-19 protocols.
Integrity. Respect. Spirit.
Families searching for an independent high school education in a co-educational
day school environment will find a perfect fit
at Grace College in Hilton.
Grace College
Underpinned by a sound Christian ethos, our highly committed and happy staff dedicate themselves to developing pupils beyond initial expectations. Due to our use of the Google Classroom platform as a teaching tool for the past several years, we were well positioned to move our classes online as the country went into lockdown
in March 2020. This seamless transition was instrumental to the success of our pupils; we were able to complete our full syllabus and write a successful set of year-end exams across all grades. Situated on a beautiful 22-hectare site on the Hilton College Road, there is space for each pupil to shine in their own way, discover their strengths and mature into responsible and considerate adults. Join us at an online information evening or call us for a tour of our campus.

Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School:
Empowering future female leaders
Academic excellence has always been a cornerstone of Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School’s (GHS’s) vision. Highly qualified and dedicated teachers guide pupils to maintain a balance between their academic, sport and cultural endeavours.
GHS believes that it is imperative to educate the future generation of female leaders in such a way that they can take their rightful places in society and be well-equipped trailblazers. The modern classroom is set up for teaching with full digital support. Thanks to Google Classroom, teachers were able to remain in contact with their class groups throughout the Covid-19 hard lockdown last year. As such, online learning at GHS was born and proved to be a lifesaver in those times of adversity but never to replace the personal touch in the classroom.
