EXPLAINATION

Michaelhouse is one of the longest established boarding schools in South Africa. The school encourages each boy to find their niche in life by giving them the freedom to explore and develop their talents, and to become ‘the best one can be’. Holistic programmes focused on academic, cultural, spiritual, environmental concerns and character growth help students to reach their full potential as leaders and be ‘ men of understanding, thought and culture’. Academic excellence is a priority, but prowess in the spheres of sports and the arts are also highly prized. It’s a successful recipe, given the number of renowned sportsmen, politicians, academics, and authors (including Wilbur Smith) that have been educated here.
