St Mary's School

General information

The School was established in 1888 and is the oldest school in Johannesburg. It is a school with a rich history which exudes spirit, integrity and passion. St Mary’s welcomes the enrichment provided by other cultures and religions. It is an unpretentious school, which offers a real and relevant education to all in its care.

Throughout St Mary’s 124 year history, it has endeavoured to make a difference in the community and add value to the lives of its pupils while, at the same time, maintaining standards of excellence in every sphere. St Mary’s believes in sharing its privilege because that is the very essence of being an Anglican school.

Proud to embrace its history, the School is also committed to providing a dynamic, relevant education for each girl in the 21st century. The students are then ready to go out into the world knowing that, as women, they can do anything to which they set their minds.
