Overview
Our campus is situated in Krugersdorp 40 kilometres to the west of Johannesburg. Krugersdorp was founded in 1887 on the farm Paardplaats and named in honour of President Paul Kruger, a friend of the owner and founder M Pretorius. The town has some beautiful residential areas, especially those seated on the north facing ridges. Services and facilities in Krugersdorp are excellent, and there are a number of leisure options; the nearby 1,400 hectares (3,500 acres) game reserve in the dense bush of the veld holds a large quantity of game and is one of the town’s major tourist attractions. Also in close proximity are various provincial heritage sites including the Cradle of Humankind, the Sterkfontein Caves and the Wonder Cave; some of the oldest remains of ancestral humans have been found at this World Heritage Site.
Other attractions include an eco-adventure park, the South African National Bird of Prey Centre and the Railway and Steam Train Museum, where steam train fanatics can revel in the 90 odd steam engine locomotives. Krugersdorp has modernised itself. It has ultra-modern sport facilities including a sports stadium, contemporary business centres, shopping malls, numerous smaller shops, three large private hospitals and medical centres. Our climate is ideal for sport participation. Krugersdorp gets most of its rainfall during November and December. The area enjoys sunny and pleasant weather the majority of the time. The hottest month is January, when the maximum temperature will reach an average of 25℃.
The coldest month is July, when the temperature drops down to 5℃ at night. The school is laid out on an 8.5 hectare property, which overlooks a dam nestled under the foot of a hill. Alma Mater’s old buildings and unconventional layout provide a home like feel for the students and teachers. Many old trees beautify the property and regularly invite our students to read, rest and enjoy their lunch underneath their branches. Our grounds offer many open spaces and green fields for the students to play during break time.
