Epworth School

At Epworth School in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, we provide a rich and diverse education for boys and girls from Grade RRR to Grade 7, and girls only from Grade 8 to Grade 12. We are an independent, Christian school that takes pride in preparing our pupils for a future where they are confident, knowledgeable and multi-faceted. Join us for a life-transforming journey.

Epworth is guided by its motto Fida Humana Fortis in all aspects of the school’s life, activities and engagements with stakeholders and the community at large. The qualities of Fida (Faith), Humana (Compassion) and Fortis (Courage) anchor the value system of our school.

Epworth thrives year after year in one of the country’s most competitive private school environments. We promote an ethos of “true to who we are” by emphasising the significance of authenticity in all activities, pursuits and engagements. We focus on creating a sense of belonging, striving to build an informed and compassionate citizenry. In all our pupils, we encourage a self-esteem approach based on “the best I can be” affirmation. Epworth leads from the front to help build a culture of volunteerism.
