Education our planet needs.
At Southern Cross Schools, we believe education is more than academics—it’s about nurturing confident, curious, well-rounded individuals. Our approach balances rigorous IEB academic programs with sporting, cultural, and environmental experiences rooted in our unique bushveld setting. We embrace engagement, creativity, and collaboration both inside and outside the classroom.
Our learners benefit from:
A rich, modern, and challenging curriculum
A strong environmental focus integrated into daily learning
Emphasis on holistic development: intellectual, social, physical, and emotional
A close connection to nature that reinforces our “school in the bushveld” identity
Pre-School
Young children engage in age-appropriate activities that encourage imagination, social skills, and cooperative learning in a nurturing environment.
Preparatory School
Here we guide each child to discover and develop their strengths. The curriculum is designed to foster both intellectual curiosity and confidence, laying the foundation for success in higher grades.
College
We offer stimulating educational paths tailored to passions and ambition, providing learners with opportunities across academics, arts, sport, and leadership.
Boarding School
For learners who stay on campus, our boarding facility creates a safe, caring “family environment” in the Lowveld. Students are immersed in nature—with all its sounds, smells, and rhythms—while enjoying the consistency of school life.
