What our School can offer
Shortly About Us
MCS is an independent, co-educational Christian school located on Topham Road, Pietermaritzburg, catering for learners from Grade 4 through to Grade 12.
We are affiliated with ISASA. The Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa is the largest and oldest membership organisation for private schools in the region. ISASA serves over 850 member schools across a broad range of socio-economic and cultural communities. Our matrics write the IEB Exams. MCS was founded in 1987 as a non-denominational, co-educational, multi-racial, Christian primary school. The high school opened in 2001 and our first matriculants wrote in 2005. We are a small, connected school, with a strong pastoral emphasis alongside the academics and sporting pillars that provide the foundations that young people need to mature spiritually, mentally, and physically. Class sizes are limited to 26, and with no more than two classes per grade, every child is known.
