Graeme College Boys' High

<p>At present Graeme College caters for just over 600 boys from Grade 1 to Grade 12.</p>
<p>It offers its students the rare opportunity of beginning and completing the first 12 years of their education in the same setting. This structure has resulted in a unique atmosphere at the school.</p>
<p>Graeme College has developed into a close-knit \"family\" school which has grown and flourished with the \"new\" South Africa, combining modern educational trends with the standards, values and traditions built up during an existence now spanning three centuries. Our motto &ldquo;Virtute et Opera&rdquo; (through courage and hard work&rdquo; is the corner-stone of all activities.</p>
<p>With the exception of the Foundation Phase (Grades 1, 2 and 3), there are two classes per grade.</p>
<p>We use excursions and outdoor education as a means of fostering a spirit of cooperation and tolerance within the grades and consequently each group from Grade 4 upwards is expected to embark on one major expedition per year.</p>
<p>We also attempt to foster an atmosphere where respect for the rights of the individual are paramount, while encouraging the individual to appreciate that he has certain duties and obligations to the society of which he is part.</p>
