POSITION

Michaelhouse, the Anglican Diocesan College of Natal, was founded in 1896 and is

a South African boarding school for senior boys, with an international reputation.

Situated on a secure estate in the beautiful Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, the school

has a fully residential staff which facilitates a high level of pastoral care and

interaction with the pupils. The distinctive architecture of inter-linked quadrangles

inspires a sense of belonging amongst the 550 boys.

VALUES

To live our lives according to the Christian values of integrity, humility, compassion

and courage in service to our community and country.

MISSION

To provide a dynamic and progressive education for boys that respects individual

needs and embraces diversity and change in pursuit of academic, sporting and

cultural excellence, while providing social and leadership skills and nurturing

spiritual growth.

VISION

“Our aim is to make, not accountants, not clerks, not clergymen, but men; men of

understanding, thought and culture.” Founder Canon James Cameron Todd, Speech Day 1897
