at St Martin's School
A legacy of excellence - grounded in South African history
St Martin’s School has evolved from its historic roots to become a beacon of academic excellence and social responsibility. Founded on principles of educational rigor and community service, our journey began as St Peter’s School which shaped generations of prominent South Africans. Despite past challenges, the school’s commitment to education has remained steadfast, culminating in the establishment of St Martin’s School in 1958.
Living our values - ethos and academic excellence
At St Martin's, we uphold a tradition of academic rigor and Christian values within a vibrant and inclusive community. Rooted in Anglican principles, our school integrates regular student and staff-led assemblies and weekly Eucharist celebrations into student life, guided by dedicated chaplaincy support. We nurture students’ God-given gifts, fostering an environment where curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking flourish in every classroom. The arts are celebrated as a means to embrace diversity and cultivate a profound appreciation for each individual. Through sports, students learn invaluable lessons in teamwork, encouragement, and respect for all, reflecting our commitment to community and social justice. Our history of advocacy for freedom in all its forms continues to inspire us in shaping responsible global citizens.
Empowering through service - social responsibility and community outreach
St Martin’s School embraces social responsibility through active engagement with our community. Our grade 7 students participate in the Johannesburg Mini Council to actively contribute to underprivileged organisations. Partnering with institutions like St Mary’s Children’s Home and collaborating with organisations such as The Salvation Army, our students actively make a difference. These experiences instil empathy and a sense of civic duty, empowering students to apply their education to real-world challenges and become compassionate global citizens.
An academic journey - Anglican Church affiliation and scholarly pursuits
Affiliated with the Anglican Church of South Africa, St Martin's School blends academic excellence with personal support and guidance. Our intimate class sizes and dedicated faculty ensure that each student receives individualised attention and mentorship. We offer a comprehensive range of subjects, encouraging students to explore their interests and excel across disciplines - from the arts and sciences to technology and humanities. For those seeking a co-educational boarding experience, St Martin’s offers a supportive environment where students develop independence and lifelong friendships.
