Epworth High School for Girls is one of South Africa’s leading and most sought-after independent schools, providing a rich and holistic education for girls (boarders and day scholars) from Grade 8 to Grade 12.

Located in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, within a picturesque 15-hectare park-like campus with an enviable range of facilities, Epworth seeks to meet the challenges of the 21st century while upholding Christian values and practices.

Epworth has a distinct Methodist ethos and boasts over 118 years of nurturing and molding young women into responsible citizens who can make meaningful contributions to the community, country and world.

Epworth lives by its powerful motto, Fida Humana Fortis, which is infused in daily school life. We believe that faith enables us to trust in spiritual good for everyone, compassion helps us care for the world and all who live in it, and courage gives us strength to strive for change whenever and wherever it is needed.
Epworth is a school like no other, offering an education unlike any other. So much more than a school – it offers more opportunities, more diversity, more challenges and more experiences. It dares pupil to explore themselves, their abilities, their strengths and weaknesses and their environment.

Epworth aims to instill a quest for personal excellence, encouraging each girl to achieve her personal best and excel in her area of individuality.
