"To the Student. By the Student. For the Student”. We believe in mobilising our student leaders to drive ideas into actions, our core values into lived realities, obstacles into opportunities for change, and separateness into solidarity.

Learning Without Fear
Alfie Kohn said it best, “Homework is the greatest single extinguisher of children’s curiosity that we have yet invented.” We couldn’t agree more. In fact, Redhill strongly believes that there should be no formal homework or standardised testing before Grade 7. Instead, our view is that it is more important for students to learn how to collaborate and problem-solve instead of simply learning and regurgitating facts.

Innovation
Redhill consistently drives innovation from the ground up, from our world-class facilities to our exceptional teachers who model innovation in the classroom. We strongly believe that the ability to be innovative is a skill that can be taught, measured and learned, and one that is key in preparing our students to make a global impact.

Reggio Emilia
Our Early Learning Centre (KG1 – Grade 1) is inspired by Reggio Emilia, an educational experience in Early Years Learning where the child builds knowledge and constructs learning together with the teacher. This approach is evident in the ground-breaking design of our ELC building (launching 2024), which incorporates natural materials and open spaces to encourage exploration and creativity.

Our Schools

ELC

Comprising children from KG1 – Grade 1, Redhill’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) is a four-year phase within a warm, affirmative, progressive, and innovative environment.

Junior

Spanning Grades 2 to 5, Redhill’s Junior School focusses on building confidence, fostering creativity and critical thinking, and developing strong collaborative skills.

Middle

Comprising Grades 6 to 9, Redhill’s Middle School is a community where students find who they are, cultivate a passion for knowledge, explore their abilities, expand their skills, and broaden their aspirations.

Senior

These pivotal years provide Grade 10 – 12 students with an opportunity to master their academic skills, contribute to the life and legacy of the school, explore future career options, and make memories to last a lifetime.

The Redhill Campus

The Campus That Never Sleeps

The Redhill campus is a warm, inclusive, and vibrant home-away-from-home where students can grow and thrive. While we are one of the leading independent schools in the country, our focus is not just on academic results. Our aim is also to provide a microcosm of South Africa in terms of race, religion, culture, gender, and sexuality where students can learn from and embrace each other’s diversity.
