Situated in Grahamstown, St Andrew's Prep is a small, Christian school which provides a broad, dynamic and relevant education in a fun working environment where everyone's contribution is valued and each pupil is treated as a unique individual. St Andrew's Prep aims to produce well balanced pupils who live out values of honesty, fairness, trust and respect for all. It is expected of our pupils to treat others with dignity, empathy and reasonableness. The school, which was opened in 1885, caters for girls and boys from Pre-School to Grade 3 on a separate, secure campus and for boys from Grades 4 to 7 on another.
Boarders live in four comfortable houses where even the youngest settle quickly and happily.
Day pupils are assigned to the houses too and are fully integrated in school life. The number of pupils and the lay-out of the school enable pupils to get to know one another, helping to create a homely atmosphere for our happy and busy pupils.
