This list is for general information only and may contain errors or be out of date. Schools open, close, change names and change their fees and admission policies. Each school decides admission under its own policy, so buying in a suburb does not guarantee a place. Confirm all details directly with the school and the WCED before making any decision. Andre van Niekerk accepts no responsibility for any errors or omissions in this information, or for any decision made in reliance on it.
