Admissions

We thank you for your interest in Durban Girls’ College for your daughter’s schooling.

As a leading independent Christian school for girls in South Africa—consistently ranked top in both academics and sport within KwaZulu-Natal—Durban Girls’ College experiences exceptionally high demand, with the school currently at full capacity. While a limited number of places become available each year for Grade 00/R and Grade 8, we prioritise applicants who demonstrate a desire to immerse themselves fully in our vibrant school life and who embrace our Christian values of integrity, courage, agility, respect, and empathy.

The quintessential “College Girl” is one who embraces our holistic approach; we believe that active participation in our rich co-curricular programme—encompassing competitive sport and a diverse cultural offering of music, dramatic arts, and visual arts—is fundamental to developing the whole child. It is this commitment to a multi-faceted education that produces the phenomenal, well-rounded young women behind our consistently outstanding results.

If you wish to experience the heart of Durban Girls’ College and the unique spirit that makes our school truly special, we invite you to book a tour school on the link below.

We encourage families to apply early to avoid disappointment. Grade 00, Grade R, and Grade 8 — our key entry points. Due to strong demand, our Senior Primary (Grades 4 to 7) is currently at full capacity and we are unable to accommodate further enrolments in these grades at this time. A limited number of places may be available in our Junior Primary. We encourage families to apply early for our main entry years to avoid disappointment.
