Potchefstroom High School For Boys Company Information
General information
Opened in 1905, it is a boarding school based on the English boarding schools system. Founded by C.D. Hope, the original structure had been built long before and had to close during the Anglo-Boer war.
The school-building itself was designed in Cape Dutch architecture design as it was prominent style during those times and has now been declared a local heritage site. There are 3 boarding houses: Granton (1909), Milton (1910) and Buxton, which was built much later. The fourth house, Barnard is the 'Day-Boy' house. These buildings did not follow the traditional Cape Dutch styles and were built more suited to the period they were built in.
The school's motto, Iustorum Semita Lux Splendens (Latin), was adapted by the founder C.D. Hope, from Proverbs 4:18, and means "The path of righteousness (alternately: the just) is (as) a shining light."
