The Wykeham Collegiate (TWC) in Pietermaritzburg is an independent school for girls from Grade RRR to Grade 12. Our campus offers a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art facilities, including an Indoor Sports Centre and an artificial playing surface for hockey. Academic resources include fully equipped science laboratories, an Art and Technology venue, a well-stocked library, and a custom-built Music School. In the Junior School, our dedicated D3 Centre provides specialised spaces for Science, DigiTech, and our psychomotor programme, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
TWC offers boarding from Grades 2 to 12 and the Boarding Establishment is ‘home’ for many girls from South Africa, neighbouring states and several African countries.
TWC writes the Independent Examinations Board examinations which emphasise problem-solving skills and the application of knowledge, ensuring good preparation for their tertiary studies. We boast an excellent track record of Grade 12 results, consistently achieving a 100% Bachelor’s Degree Pass rate for several years. The wide subject choice allows the girls to study the subjects they enjoy. TWC is one of the few schools in South Africa to offer the subject, Sport & Exercise Science.
The school is committed to inculcating its core values. These are honesty, integrity, respect for self and others, kindness, responsibility and balance of intellectual, physical and spiritual well-being.
At TWC, we believe education is about helping girls identify, ignite and develop their passions and TWC provides an environment in which girls can grow, learn, take risks and discover more about themselves. Education is not only about the acquisition of academic, cultural and sporting skills but also about the development of social skills and emotional intelligence. By the time the girls leave TWC, they should have a positive self-image and a good understanding of who they are. Our aim is to develop compassionate, confident leaders who are capable of developing positive relationships in all areas of their lives, thus we teach girls accountability and that choices have consequences. At TWC we value diversity as well as the development of resilience, ensuring that the girls are able to view setbacks as opportunities rather than failures.
TWC strives to offer girls superior facilities and an exemplary educational experience and prides itself on offering the intangible things that make the difference between an excellent education and an exceptional one. TWC helps every girl fulfil her potential and to be as prepared as she can be to take her place in society. It was Nelson Mandela who reminded us that a good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
