Situated in Johannesburg and established in 1919, we are widely recognised as a leading South African boys' preparatory school. The school grounds, some 19 acres, are located on Westcliff ridge, with views over Parktown and the surrounding suburbs.

To ensure we live up to our reputation of being a School "where boys are known and grown", we offer 3 classes per grade from Grade 0 - Grade 7 with 20 boys per class. With a total school capacity of 480, the School is enjoying its fullest years ever.

We are proud to offer leading facilities, including our well-equipped classrooms, a custom-designed Resource Centre, a spacious Art Studio, a large Design and Technology Centre, an impressive array of Music rooms and extensive sports facilities. The libraries and computer rooms are equipped with the latest technology, software and publications.

Additional learning support is offered throughout the School with Focus Groups from Grades 2-4 to ensure that all boys who need it receive help with numeracy and literacy.

The School's annual tally of scholarships and acceptances into high school attests to the fact that our boys are sought after by many of the country's top colleges.

Combining a strong sense of history with a modern contemporary environment, The Ridge School continues into its 10th decade to provide its boys with an holistic approach to education and the lessons of life.

RIDGE BOY EXPLORING THE WORLD!

Matt and Mrs Ramsden summited Kilimanjaro last week in very cold and windy but clear conditions. He did admirably, showing great fortitude and resilience when the going got tough. Not everyone in the party made it. Matt pushed through several bouts of nausea and a few retches and kept going until the top, passing several groups along the way. We are so proud of him. He carried The Ridge flag to the summit. What a super achievement!
