At a time when education is undergoing a critical revolution, Steyn City School is gearing to create an environment where a child can explore their full potential by offering facilities that encourage excellence in every sphere.
The new private school doors were officially opened in January 2018 and the pictures are pretty epic!
Although the South African independent education sector has seen the development of a number of well-known private brands, which have gained credibility through their offering, last year Steyn City’s Board announced that the highly anticipated Steyn City Schools will be a completely independent world-class educational facility.
“It is vital to us that the school is a reflection of our values, which are rooted in family, community and relationships. Although the school is to be non-denominational, it will have a very firm ethical foundation,” Steyn City CEO Giuseppe Plumari states.
“We felt that the best way to ensure this outcome was by developing our own legacy rather than buying into an existing school brand.”
Steyn City Preparatory & College is an independent school which will accommodate up to 2,000 learners in grades 0 to 12. Added to this, an Early Learning Centre will provide an interactive learning experience for pre-schoolers in grades 000 and 00.
Phase 1 of the project includes the pre-primary and primary campuses, and encompasses 23 classrooms, each of which will accommodate 25 pupils, and teaching assistants will be introduced to the younger grades. All classrooms have external verandas and are equipped with air conditioning, television sets and fibre connectivity.
Other facilities include a state-of-the-art science laboratory, music and art rooms, as well as a tuck shop and school shop, and a 400m² media centre.
From a sporting perspective, the school will offer two sports fields, a cricket oval and pavilion, an indoor aquatic centre, and three multi-courts, which may be used for tennis, basketball and netball, along with an athletics track. There is additionally, a multifunction hall. P
upils will also be able to access Steyn City’s outstanding facilities, which include a 60km mountain bike track, 20kms of road cycling lanes, a Nicklaus Design championship golf course and a world class equestrian centre.

Steyn City Parkland Residence is located on the edge of Sandton, connecting Fourways to Lanseria, Broadacres and Midrand.
It comprises some 2,000 acres of land currently being developed to create the largest parkland residence in South Africa. The estate is the brainchild of insurance magnate Douw Steyn.
With apartments on the estate priced from R1.7 million, and homes priced up to R20 million, Steyn City is expected to become one of the country’s more exclusive living spaces once completed.
In its first phase the development drew in R6.5 billion in investment, with the second phase expected to reach R50 billion.
Unlike many residential estates in South Africa, Steyn City School will be independent (ie not belonging to any private of public group of schools). Its fees however, will be in line with the likes of Curro schools and Reddam House.
