An independent school in Benoni, nurturing young people from Preschool through to Matric in a community of faith, excellence and belonging.
St Francis College has been part of the Benoni community for over 35 years. From our Preschool through to our High School, we offer one continuous journey in a place where your child is safe, seen and supported every step of the way.
We are an independent, UMALUSI-accredited school. Our teachers know every learner by name, our classes are small enough to matter, and our community is one that families choose to stay in from Grade RRR all the way to Matric.
