Hilton College in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands retains its title as the most expensive school in the country, with its annual fees at R343,155 – up 3.5% from last year., Hilton College was the only school priced over R200,000 for boarding and tuition. In 2022, all schools tracked have breached that figure.
The latest school listing is also notable for the first-day school to breach the R200,000 mark, with Kearsney college now charging R209,000 per annum for a grade 12-day scholar. Day school fees are also slowly escalating across the board, with at least 40 other schools now priced over R120,000 a year .
Recent data from TPN Credit Bureau shows that private schools in South Africa have been heavily impacted by the financial pressures of the Covid pandemic on parents in the country. And while government schools give parents the option to apply for partial or full exemption from paying fees, private schools do not have this luxury and ultimately end up terminating contracts over non-payment.
