Epworth School: Providing a Rich and Diverse Education for Over a Century
Epworth School is a renowned educational institution located in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. Established in 1898, the school has been providing quality education to boys and girls from Grade RRR to Grade 12 for over a century. With its rich history and commitment to excellence, Epworth School has become one of the most sought-after schools in South Africa.
At Epworth School, we believe that education is not just about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing young minds and preparing them for the challenges of the future. Our curriculum is designed to provide our students with a well-rounded education that focuses on academic excellence as well as personal growth.
From Grade RRR to Grade 7, we offer co-educational classes where boys and girls learn together in an inclusive environment. From Grade 8 onwards, we offer single-sex classes for girls only. This allows us to tailor our teaching methods according to the needs of each gender group.
Our academic program is based on the South African National Curriculum (CAPS) which provides a solid foundation in all subjects including Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts (ELA), Social Studies/History/Geography (SS/H/G), Life Orientation (LO), Technology Education (TE), Creative Arts (CA) and Physical Education (PE). We also offer Advanced Programme courses such as AP Mathematics and AP English which prepare our students for tertiary studies.
In addition to academics, we place great emphasis on extracurricular activities such as sports, music, drama and community service. These activities help our students develop their talents and interests while also fostering teamwork skills.
At Epworth School, we are committed to providing an inclusive environment where every student feels valued regardless of their background or abilities. We have dedicated support staff who work closely with teachers to ensure that every student receives individual attention when needed.
Our campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including modern classrooms, science and computer labs, a library, sports fields and courts, music and drama studios, an art gallery and a chapel. We also have boarding facilities for students who live far from the school.
Epworth School has a proud tradition of producing extraordinary pupils who go on to achieve great things in their chosen fields. Our alumni include successful entrepreneurs, academics, artists, athletes and community leaders.
In conclusion, Epworth School is more than just an educational institution - it's a community where young minds are nurtured and prepared for the challenges of the future. Join us for a life-transforming journey that will equip you with the skills and knowledge to succeed in whatever path you choose.
