Leading the education
of girls into a future of
limitless possibilities.
Herschel Girls School is an independent Anglican school for girls, founded in 1922, situated on a historic campus in Claremont, Cape Town, and offering quality education from grade 000 to grade 12. We nurture our future female change-makers to lead in an ever-changing world.
Pre-Preparatory School
For our girls to flourish, they need to be happy, safe, and always feel loved. It is therefore our aim in the Pre-Preparatory School to provide a playful environment where the girls learn and grow at their own pace. We offer a rich, developmentally appropriate curriculum to ensure well-rounded girls.
Preparatory School
We teach beyond the curriculum and emphasis is placed on the development of core skills, values and attitudes. We encourage girls to take ownership for their own learning and are proud of our tradition of excellence and academic rigour.
Senior School
With our introduction of the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) curriculum, our students have undertaken this transformed curriculum with great success and; we are confident that the programme focuses both on the acquisition of knowledge and on 21st-century skills and development of attitudes and values.
