Discover Lonehill International

Lonehill International is a place where challenge and choice create opportunities for every student to discover who they are meant to be. A leader in education, our School has built an outstanding reputation for excellence, enabling students to develop with confidence and independence.

World-class learning programs, state-of-the-art facilities and an extensive Cambridge International program inspire each student to achieve their best in the classroom and beyond.

Lonehill International started as a small home school in 2006. Derick and Retha van der Schyf spearheaded this parent initiative to find a suitable alternative to the GDE and IEB curriculums in South Africa. After extensive research the world-renowned Cambridge syllabus was chosen to educate the learners of Lonehill International.

The passion and motivation of the owners and fellow parents and students were instrumental in securing a quick and steady growth in student numbers. The school started out as a Secondary school, offering tuition in the Cambridge curriculum from Check point level, IGCSE and up to AS/A levels. This is equivalent to grade 8 to grade 12 in the local school arena in South Africa. The Cambridge A level curriculum allow students to proceed to grade 13, post matric, which is equivalent to 1 st and 2 nd year University levels.

Quote from Principal

“To educate is to make an intervention into the lives of others. When we intervene, we do so with certain assumptions about the value of what we are doing and why. Building students’ capacity for future readiness is a moral-ethical learning endeavour and one that cannot be left to chance.

To achieve this, Lonehill Academy promotes a progressive, contemporary community of practice committed to providing personalised high quality curriculum, the Cambridge International program enables lifelong learning for every student. We are future focused and committed to inspiring our learners and equipping them with the values, knowledge and skills to be ready to make their mark on the world.”
