Ensuring that women are educated and receive a quality education has become essential. Educating young women goes beyond getting girls into school. It is also about ensuring that girls learn and feel safe while in school; have the opportunity to complete all levels of education, acquire the knowledge and skills to compete in the labour market; gain socio-emotional and life skills necessary to navigate and adapt to a changing world; make decisions about their own lives, and contribute to their communities and the world.

The Wykeham Collegiate is recognised as one of the leading independent schools for girls in Africa. Emphasis is largely placed on creating a positive school environment where our educators consistently address the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of the girls. They are encouraged to discover and develop their own talents through a holistic curriculum focused on self-belief and self-reliance. The opportunities that are provided by girls’ schools enable girls to achieve their full potential.

We are extremely proud that we have an annual matric pass rate of 100%. The outstanding results are consistently achieved through their hard work, dedication, and the support of our experienced educators – despite the complications we’ve faced during the global pandemic.

The school prides itself on its extramural programmes. We offer a wide variety to appeal to the interests of our girls from music, drama, and art; to competition on the sports field. – Your child can find their passion at The Wykeham Collegiate.

We provide full termly and weekly boarding for our girls from Grade 3 to Grade 12. Our boarders learn well-structured routines from a young age. They forge strong friendships and develop good study and work habits in a homely, safe and secure environment with assistance from our caring and nurturing house mothers. Girls join us from as far as Zambia, UAE, England, Uganda and Mauritius.
