Latin “Sedulus Praestantia” translates to “Excellence Belongs to the Zealous”  – the Ashton motto that echoes through every platform of not only the Senior College, but all our phases. Ashton opened its doors on the Dolphin Coast in January 2010 and is an English Medium, Co-educational School with a Christian ethos and traditional values. The Ashton campus is home to the Ashlings Early Learning Centre (ages 2-3 years); Foundation Phase (Grade 1 – 3); Intersen Phase Grade 4 – 7 and then the Senior College from Grade 8 (Form 1) to Grade 12 (Form 5).

Ashton International College is an amalgamation of subject specialists, state-of-the-art facilities and an experienced and efficient administration. At Ashton we encourage all students to participate in the extra-curricular activities we offer on the Cultural, Academic and Sports forum, Community responsibility and specialised Clubs.  The College Ethos and Philosophy is to be value-driven where emphasis and encouragement is placed on each individual and develop their unique talents as we strive to unlock the potential that lies within every student.
