MERCHISTON PREPARATORY SCHOOL - Pietermaritzburg

Our school is steeped in tradition and embraces all the good that the past offered. Merchiston caters to the needs of boys from all walks of life and serves to enrich their lives in a very real and meaningful way. The essence of the Merchiston ethos is a value system that will not be compromised in any way. Values such as honesty, integrity, loyalty, commitment and self-discipline are closely guarded as we believe these values are the building blocks of every child's life. Built on four pillars: Academic, Sport, Culture and Character-Building, Merchiston has established itself as one of the leading boy specialist institutions in South Africa. It is one of 15 monastic state schools in South Africa and is widely known for its sporting prowess and for the many top class Provincial and National sportsmen it has produced and continues to nurture.
