A distinctive educational experience

As the only co-educational independent boarding facility in southern Johannesburg, St Martin's School offers boarding from Grade 7 to matric. Boys and girls are accommodated in houses adjacent to the campus which is within walking distance to school everyday. Both houses provide private and shared rooms, ensuring comfortable and personalised living spaces for all students.

The boys' and girls' houses are overseen by a senior housemaster and housemistress, along with a dedicated team of supporting staff, ensuring a nurturing environment that feels like a home away from home.
