Maritzburg College is one of the leading boys’ schools in KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa. We also hold our own internationally, having produced a Fulbright Scholar and several Rhodes scholars.
By nurturing the highest academic standards, the classroom environment at College endows every boy with the skills to grow intellectually, think independently, and interrogate ideas. These skills and attitudes last a lifetime, forming the foundation of fulfilling intellectual lives and successful careers.
The academic curriculum is complemented by a range of extra subjects and cultural clubs, allowing boys with academic prowess to pursue a range of disciplines, grow their potential, and expand their field of interest.
Among our alumni are university chancellors, judges, bishops, authors, and accomplished men who show proficiency across a growing list of industries.
At Maritzburg College, lessons within the classroom are enhanced by a collection of online learning tools. These resources are readily accessible to expand understanding and foster a culture of independent self-study.
Every boy’s learning style and rate of progress is unique. Academic support at College takes the form of a peer tutor system, free after-school support, remedial offerings, and learning concessions for boys with special requirements.
The teachers at College have a passion for their subjects that extends into their lives outside the school. Through their knowledge and experience, boys are given the unique advantage of professional insights and enthusiastic classroom environments.
Boys who attend Maritzburg College write the National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams. While there are some differences between the NSC and Independent Examination Board (IEB) exams, College boys are guaranteed a superior quality education in our well-resourced, professionally-run school.
Off the back of more than 150 years of teaching boys, our rigorous academic standards are achieved by:
Both NSC and IEB schools fall under the supervision of the national education authority, Umalusi, which keeps watch over the curricula in both state and private schools in South Africa.
Both systems complete the same core curriculum called the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement. While the style of examining may differ from system to system, the curriculum being examined is the same.
Both the IEB and NSC are accredited by Umalusi as examining bodies. This ensures that the standards set are of an acceptable level and are consistent across the two systems.
There is no preference shown by university officials to matriculants from either state or IEB schools. Every Grade 12 pupil who qualifies for university entrance has an Admission Point Score based on their results which, together with the National Benchmark Test, determines university entrance.
Accounting focuses on measuring performance and processing and communicating financial information about economic sectors. The discipline ensures that principles such as ethical behaviour, transparency, and accountability are adhered to. It deals with the logical, systematic, and accurate selection and recording of financial information and transactions, as well as the compilation, analysis, interpretation, and communication of financial statements and managerial reports.
The skills gained through the study of Accounting in high school are a foundation for this invaluable ability, which boys will use in business and throughout their lives.

Afrikaans teaches English-speaking boys to communicate – verbally and in writing – in Afrikaans, the third most spoken language in South Africa. Boys are engaged in a meaningful way to develop an appreciation for the language. Their improved proficiency stands them in good stead for their future studies and professional lives. While learning Afrikaans, boys also develop vital life skills like respectful communication and relationship-building. Analysing poetry, novels and dramas requires critical thinking, interpretation and cognitive abilities. As boys leave, they are holistically developed and well-equipped for adulthood.

Drama develops self-confidence and people skills; creating empathetic, quick-thinking, thoughtful, and attentive young men. It opens doors to different careers and current research indicates that employers consider it an advantage if one has studied Drama.
The curriculum moves the learner from the theoretical (page) to the theatrical (stage). The theoretical component tracks the history and progress of theatre, explores theatre practitioners, theatrical movements, and relevant genres of play texts. The theatrical component explores the development of performance skills required for presentation; developing body, mind, voice, and emotion – the instruments of expression, communication, and creativity.

Maths provides learners with skills to extend their thinking by encouraging them to solve problems, think critically, persevere, and delve into abstract logic. Maths requires determination, commitment, and self-discipline.
The more motivated a boy, the greater his success, as a steely work ethic is crucial. Core Maths opens many doors at a tertiary level and our teachers are committed to providing guidance based on each boy’s potential and ability. By studying Maths at the right level, boys enjoy their studies and mitigate the stresses of high school and effects on other subjects.
