Grace College, Hilton

Grace College opened in 1999. Before it had a campus, classrooms were rented in a local shopping centre.[1] As the school gained more attention, a 22 hectare campus was built with several modern-style buildings and a forest for mountain biking. New additions to the campus were completed at recently as 2022.

The school has grown to have more than 222 pupils, offering a full academic and sports programme. The school features waterpolo, golf and mountain biking along with traditional sports, and cultural programs such as debating.[2] The school is a member of the Independent Examination Board (IEB), and is one of 3 upmarket high schools, along with Hilton College and Michaelhouse.

Outreach and giving back to the community has always been an important part of the school. Pupils, parents and teachers regularly perform charity for the disadvantaged surroundings areas, such as Sweetwaters & Edendale. One such outreach project is Masihambisane ("Let us move forward together"), an education workshop for teachers who teach in schools in disadvantaged areas. The school does have a number of other outreach programmes, where pupils can choose as part of their 20-hour outreach for Life Orientation. Furthermore, grade and 10 pupils visit Sbongumbovu combined school where they help learners there with mathematics and reading literacy. The whole school is then involved in a Christmas party at the end of each year. Some other outreaches that Grace College pupils are involved in are: Free Me Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre Sunnyside Park Home Tabitha Ministries Thandihouse SPCA Greys Hospital Prestbury Preschool Assisting with an entertainment area at Envande in Edendale Grace College also gets involved with fund raising initiatives such as Sunflower Day and Tekkie Tax Day.[3]
