Prestige College Hammanskraal

Background

Prestige College was established in 1991 and opened its doors in January 1992. The school gained its independence in 1995 when it formed its own ARTICLE 21 COMPANY NOT FOR GAIN and bought the property from its former owners. Money was secured from sponsors to further develop the school.

Since its independence the school has developed remarkably. The Primary school, Technology Centre and two more hostel-houses were built, the Arena was upgraded and enclosed, the entrance gate was completed, 4 more classrooms were erected, a Pavilion seating 1400 people was added. The outdoor and adventure centre, Pro Act, was established on the western side of the land. Today Prestige College is a learning centre that vibrates with up to date modern technology, buildings equipped with the latest technological devices and a curriculum that keeps up with the pace of the frenetic changes that the academic world is facing in South Africa.

We believe that a better future, with peace and prosperity for everybody in South Africa, is only possible through better education - an education that will prepare students academically but also equip them with the necessary skills to be able to participate fully in any society as responsible adults. At Prestige this quality education is pursued in a caring environment with Christian principles practiced and learned.

We are extremely blessed with the most wonderful staff, offering vibrant and interactive classes to enthusiastic learners in an idyllic setting. We encourage respect for others as we instill a love for learning. We celebrate the diverse cultures represented in our school. Teamwork and commitment of staff and learners have made it possible for Prestige College to stand out as a remarkable place. Here quality education is a way of living and we are proud to be the leaders in this outstanding educational institution. Prestige is a special place. We hope that everybody in contact with us will have the same experience.
