Private school based in Honeydew Ridge, Johannesburg.
Our contemporary private preschool, preparatory and high school is doing education differently. We’re striving to create a school that equips students, teachers and parents to thrive in life.
The SKYE COLLEGE thriveway will prepare your child with the competencies, knowledge and habits needed to thrive – today and in the future.
Self-Paced For Deep Mastery
At Skye College the emphasis is on truly mastering content, rather than on completing assignments or achieving a passing mark. This sets the child up for success in high school math and language and helps them develop a love of these important subjects.
Research Driven Education
Our research-based methodology allows us to move beyond a single approach, or a certain methodology, curriculum or textbook. We have a deep understanding of what works as well as a firm grasp on what it means to thrive, we can craft an education that truly serves the needs of kids that sets them up for success at all aspects of life.
Sensorially-Rich Learning Experiences
The research is clear – young children learn best through concrete, sensorially-rich experiences and movement – yet schools continue to fight to keep kids in their seats. Practical hands-on projects and experiential learning takes learning off the page – placing it squarely in the real world and firmly in the mind.
Responsive Teaching of Curriculum
At Skye College, teachers are guided by, and work towards the outcomes of the *Cambridge curriculum and its exams. However, curriculum guidance is balanced with flexibility. Our teachers are actively engaged in co-creating curriculum that is responsive to the needs of the class and are free to incorporate learners’ interests and contexts.
Nurturing family connection
At Skye College, homework is mostly unnecessary because class-time is highly efficient and effective. We understand that after-school time is sacred for families, and so we include parents in their child’s learning journey in a way that enriches, rather than strains, this time.
Contributing To Learn
At Skye College we not only learn to contribute, but we contribute to learn: Our learners know what it is to be good world citizens and use their knowledge and skills to contribute towards one (or more) of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Gia couldn't contain her excitement as she begins "big school (grade 1)" today. Skye college has been by her side from her first day where she wobbled in as a little 2 year old. It was no different to any other year...big smiles and warm welcomes from the school. Excitement filled the air and the balloons just added that special touch. We could not move Gia to another school where she would be just another number. Thank you Skye for making each moment so special and always adding your special touch. Good luck for 2022!!!

I cannot recommend this amazing school its teachers and staff enough. They have gone completely out of their way for my child and I. She struggled to settle and they have been so supportive and went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. Pipa, Claire, and Teacher Nusrat. BRILLIANT. I am so so grateful I found this amazing school.

We did our homework, looked at many other schools, and couldn't find a school that matches what we received here. The school has a camera to make the parent at ease, you can log in at anytime to check if your baby is fine. But the ladies in the nursery have been so great with my baby that I don't even log onto that webcam. I can see my baby is thriving. He is so happy and he loves those ladies so much. Unlike other schools in the area, in this school even in the small baby class the babies actually learn and do some activities. They don't just sleep, eat and go home.

My baby started at The Nest this year and I can tell he just loves it! I enjoy getting photos on the app every day and I am super happy with the intramurals they offer in the nursery. My baby's development is clear! Safe, clean and all-round awesome. Skye College really does tick all the boxes.

Holiday club was loved by all - my daughter would ask to be fetched later every day. Thank you to Heleen and all the teachers involved.
The playgrounds are looking amazing.
Thank you so much.
