School Type: Girls

Inanda Seminary, founded by American missionaries in 1869, is an independent school under the auspices of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) and a member of ISASA (Independent Schools of Southern Africa).

It has at its core a holistic education programme, which upholds Christian values and philosophies and embraces African tradition and heritage. It has a proud history of educating thousands of black South African women who have gone into the world exemplifying the school’s motto taken from St Paul’s letter to the Philippians – “Shine where you are”.

The school, which lies 25 kilometres North West of Durban and forms part of the KwaZulu-Natal Tourism Route, is a leading independent black boarding school for girls in southern Africa. It offers quality education, which emphasises independent thinking and freedom of expression and has produced a number of highly successful women who today occupy high profile positions in government and business.

As an independent school where all the “members” are full boarders, parents are attracted by the high quality, value based education, which is offered at a very affordable fee-level, and the excellent matric results achieved over the years.

Values are reinforced and strengthened in a cultural context that is proudly African. Inanda Seminary has been able to achieve much, largely through the love and passion of staff and alumnae. The pride and sense of belonging which the school instills in all who teach, work and learn there portrays the general character of the institution.

The school, set amongst magnificent trees, is housed in beautiful old historic buildings. Mission House, built in 1858, is now a national monument. Tuition and boarding is offered in Grades 7 – 12 encompassing both the Senior and FET phases. Prospective students are most welcome to visit the school in its beautiful setting.
