Highbury Preparatory School

Highbury Preparatory School  – an extraordinary school for extraordinary boys.

For 120 years, Highbury has known and grown boys. Established in 1903, Highbury is one of South Africa’s oldest independent primary schools.

It has remained true to its founding principles: each boy is treated as an individual in the firm belief that he has the potential for excellence waiting to be unearthed.

The school is proud of their long and successful heritage but also remains true to their motto, ‘Never Behind’. They are inspired by tradition, but not constrained by it. In looking for a school, every parent seeks – in addition to high academic standards and a vibrant programme of activities – a place where their son can belong.

At Highbury, academic excellence is achieved when boys and teachers share a love of learning. Extending beyond the curriculum, they explore each subject in richness and depth, taught in a way that helps boys thrive. The same dedication is also brought to music, sports and the arts. At Highbury, they know boys!
