Boarding
In January 2018, Reddam House Umhlanga opened the doors of its College Boarding School. Boarding life at Reddam House Umhlanga offers students a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in campus culture more fully. It encourages collaboration and fosters camaraderie and companionship. It instils the right kind of discipline, self-care and independence that helps children become fully formed, considerate, forward thinking successful adults. Our boarding facilities are modern, yet are underscored by old-fashioned values that include having good manners – being punctual, respectful of seniors and elders, as well as helpful and clean and tidy. We are very excited to offer this wonderful facility that will both nurture and inspire our students and create a family environment for them away from home.
School Environment
During the 13 years since its inception, the school has grown rapidly to over 750 students, spread across the Playgroup, Pre-School, Junior and Senior Primary and High School campuses.
In 2013, Umhlanga College opened its high school and currently extends the learning experience to include grades 8, 9, 10 and 11, extending to grade 12 students in 2017.
