Referred to as a "home away from home", Cowan House offers excellent boarding facilities, caring staff and happy memories as we nurture and prepare children for their years at high school and beyond.  The 10 hectare Cowan House playground provides ample opportunity and space for children to be children - climbing trees, slipping and sliding down banks, exploring a wetland or having a great time in the multi-purpose indoor centre.

Having outstanding sport coaches and experienced teachers, it is little wonder that Cowan House achieves incredible success in winning various scholarships, year after year, to internationally acclaimed high schools such as Hilton College, Michaelhouse and St Anne's.  This is indicative of the consistently excellent and balanced education that Cowan House provides.  These are just some reasons for you to consider Cowan House as your school of choice, in order to lay solid foundations on which your son and daughter can build his or her future.

Situated in Hilton village, just 10 minutes outside Pietermaritzburg in the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa, is a little piece of heaven know as Cowan House Preparatory School and we would love to share it with your family.
