Excellent Education
At Ridge we follow the National CAPS curriculum approved by the Department of Education. To facilitate the process we have equipped our school with cutting edge tuition aids that would rival some of the best schools in South Africa.

At Ridge we have tirelessly sought and employed some of the best teaching and child development professionals available today. We acknowledge that we could not be the education leader we are without our dedicated team of educators and administrative support staff.

Our grandson, Liam, has been at Ridge for a little over a year.

As grandparents my husband and I share a keen interest in the schooling of our Grandson.

Ridge has not only provided for time to provide updates to the parents but also has a dedicated day, just for us, the grandparents.

It is this kind of thoughtfulness that makes Ridge one of the best schools in Pietermaritzburg.

My wife Anesha and I have found Ridge Junior Primary to be a wonderful school for our son.

The teachers are kind and considerate as well as exceptionally skilled.

Our son is incredibly happy and we have noticed his growth both in terms of confidence and ability.

We are very pleased with our decision and we would make it again.

We cant imagine sending our son to another school.
