With the aim of continuing to fulfil our motto, “We Unite Peoples and Cultures Through Education” and to maintain, strengthen and expand our experiential learning programme, “GoBeyond – Step into the unknown”, our Headmaster, Nick Reeves, has been making a series of visits to various schools in South Africa and the United States over the past few months.
These institutions align with our vision as world schools – some are even part of Round Square, like us – and are potential partners to expand our two-way school exchange programmes.
“I have been meeting with heads and representatives of schools with the aim of expanding our exchange programme. In the case of South Africa, most of the institutions are members of Round Square, offer boarding accommodation and are considered among the best in the country. I look forward to sharing more news about my visit upon my return to school on September 9,” said Mr. Reeves.
During these months, our Headmaster has managed to visit:
USA
- The Athenian School, California
- Silicon Valley International School, California
- Dunn School, California
- Cate School, California
- Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, California
South Africa
- Bridge House School in Franschhoek, South Africa
- St. Cyprian’s School, Cape Town
- Woodridge College and Preparatory School, Port Elizabeth
- Thomas More College, Durban
- Durban Girls’ College, Durban
- Clifton College, Durban
- Clifton Nottingham Road, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal
- Michaelhouse, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal
- Hilton College, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal
- St. Anne’s Diocesan College, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal
- Dainfern College, Johannesburg
In one of these visits, our Headmaster even had a very special reunion with two students from Durban Girls’ College, Khanyi Brauns and Erin Moodley, who were with us last year.
And although the trip is not yet over, these visits forge strong bonds between schools and open up new opportunities for our students to learn about new cultures and experience life beyond their comfort zones, pushing them to their limits and confronting the unknown. This is the essence of our experiential education programme “GoBeyond, Step into the unknown”.

Con el propósito de seguir cumpliendo nuestro lema “Unimos pueblos y culturas a través de la educación” y de mantener, fortalecer y expandir nuestro programa de educación experiencial, “GoBeyond – Step into the unknown”, nuestro rector, Nick Reeves, desde hace unos meses se encuentra haciendo una serie de visitas a diferentes colegios en Sudáfrica y Estados Unidos. Estas instituciones se alinean con nuestra visión como colegios del mundo -incluso algunos hacen parte de Round Square como nosotros – y son posibles aliados para expandir nuestros intercambios escolares de doble vía.
“Me he estado reuniendo con los directores y representantes de colegios con el objetivo de expandir nuestro programa de intercambio. En el caso de Sudáfrica, la mayoría de las instituciones son miembros de Round Square, ofrecen alojamiento en un internado y son consideradas entre las mejores del país. Espero compartir más noticias sobre mi visita a mi regreso al colegio el 9 de septiembre”, dijo Mr. Reeves.
Durante estos meses nuestro rector ha logrado visitar:

- Michaelhouse, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal
- Hilton College, Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal

- Dainfern College, Johannesburg
Incluso en una de esas visitas, nuestro rector, tuvo un reencuentro muy especial con dos estudiantes de Durban Girls College, que el año pasado estuvieron con nosotros, Khanyi Brauns y Erin Moodley.
Y aunque todavía el viaje no ha finalizado, estas visitas forjan lazos estrechos entre colegios y les abre nuevas oportunidades a nuestros estudiantes para conocer nuevas culturas y vivir experiencias que los impulsen a salir de sus zonas de confort, que vayan más allá de sus límites y se enfrenten a lo desconocido. La esencia de nuestro programa “GoBeyond, Step into the unknown”.
