GIVING PUPILS THE TOOLS THEY NEED

With a standard of excellence dating back to 1856, Hermannsburg is KZN’s oldest independent co-educational school. We pride ourselves on giving our pupils the tools they need to enter adulthood as confident, capable and adaptable young men and women, at a more affordable cost than most independent schools. We have adopted new practices such as our Positive Education, offering to ensure that our pupils have every opportunity to flourish, not just academically, but in all facets of life. We know that to develop people who will contribute positively in the future we must nurture integrity, respect, trust and compassion. The Hermannsburg ethos, coupled with the option to board or receive weekly transport to and from campus, ensure we are at the forefront of education and accessibility. The Hermannsburg Open Day on March 13 can be booked via appointment on our website. All tours will be in small groups to comply with social distancing and other Covid-19 protocols. Take the virtual tour of our campus by visiting our website and clicking on the banner — enjoy our beautiful campus from the safety of your own home.
