Redhill School

Redhill is a secular, co-educational school that redefines education by fostering creativity, critical thinking, and personal responsibility. The school values diversity, inclusivity, and the emotional and social well-being of its students, aiming to prepare them as global leaders capable of navigating an ever-changing world. The Early Learning Centre is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.

The school comprises four phases: Early Learning Centre (KG1–Grade 1), Junior School (Grades 2–5), Middle School (Grades 6–9), and Senior School (Grades 10–12). A bilingual programme in isiZulu and English is offered from KG1 to Grade 3. The Middle School follows the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the Senior School offers a choice between the IEB and IB Diploma curricula.

Redhill students consistently achieve impressive academic, sporting, and cultural results. The school is the only one in South Africa to offer students the choice of graduating with either an IEB or an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma qualification. Graduates are prepared as mature, grounded, community-minded changemakers.

Redhill prioritizes the social and emotional well-being of students across all phases, with dedicated student support systems in place. The school emphasizes a "Learning Without Fear" approach, avoiding formal homework or standardized testing before Grade 7 to encourage collaboration and problem-solving.

Key entry points are KG1 (Grade 000), Grade 0, and Grade 8, with other grades filled from waiting lists. The process involves an online application, a R750 non-refundable application fee, and potential competency assessments or interviews. Siblings and alumni receive preference, and a R20,000 non-refundable enrolment fee is required to secure a place. Scholarships for sport, music, and academics, as well as bursaries for talented South African citizens from disadvantaged backgrounds, are available.

The 2026 school calendar is available on the school website.

The campus features world-class facilities including a Reggio Emilia-inspired Early Learning Centre, a High Performance Aquatic Centre with a 10-lane pool and gym, and a purpose-built Music School. Ongoing developments include the Redhill Innovation Hub (iHub), a new Sports Precinct, and auditorium renovations. The school also provides specialized spaces for art, design, film, and radio.

Redhill offers a wide range of co-curricular activities including sport, arts, and culture. The school hosts the Redhill Arts Festival and features student-led initiatives like RedRadio and RMP Productions. Leadership opportunities are structured through Service Committees in Middle School and the Redhill Student Council in Senior School, focusing on peer support, environment, community service, and arts.
