Recognised as the number one private school in the Northern Suburbs. We nurture growth at every stage: pre-primary, primary, and high school.
High school
Our high school curriculum at Riverside College in Burgundy Estate, Cape Town, is designed to support learners through the crucial stages of their academic and personal growth, ensuring they are well-prepared for success during their school years and beyond.
Structured for success:
Starting in Grade 7, we implement structured academic goal-setting and personalised support programmes. These initiatives help learners identify their unique strengths, set realistic goals, and work towards achieving their full potential.
Beyond academics:
We believe in developing well-rounded individuals. Our leadership opportunities and extracurricular activities ensure that by the time our learners reach their final school years, they are not only academically prepared but also confident and purpose-driven, ready to face challenges in both their studies and future careers.
