High School Paul Erasmus

Where everyone knows your name

Welcome!

Paul Erasmus High School is a small school that was started in 1879 as a combined school.

Each student is important for us. Personal attention is part of our recipe that ensures excellent academic results.

Paul Erasmus High School strives to equip each student with the needed life experience, knowledge and skills to empower them to make a real difference in life.

Here we cultivate opportunities

The aim, objective and ideal of the school is to educate and lead all learners in order to achieve full realization of their God-given potential.

In order to achieve this aim, we strive to establish a true Christian value system, as well as the acceptance of norms and standards of behaviour which will lead to meaningful and useful adulthood.

In order to facilitate the holistic development of the learner, high academic standards are set, and opportunities for sport and cultural development are provided.

The realization of this ideal depends on certain expectations and commitment from learners, staff and parents of the school.
