There are some really nice Private Schools here in the Midlands that cost a small fortune. Even a semi-private like Maritzburg College.

Sandown is a street name, the suburb closest to the school is Parklands, but it is actually in an industrial area more than anything else: Rivergate Park
guessing Sandown is merely just better marketing than calling it "Dunoon Curro"

You are right, I mean this bloke is comparing Hoerskool Pretoria to Private schools in the Midlands, He thinks it is the same thing,. My word.. it is insulting actually.

The school I went to in the UK charges £15k a term so these fees seem pretty reasonable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Still on the topic of raising kids, are (any of) these honestly worth the price tag? What do they teach that the other less expensive private schools don't?

No. I don't want to ship my kids off and see them a couple of days a year. That might work for some, not for me though.

Nope, not helicopter. Just a parent who enjoys my kids. I've only got them for a couple of years, why shorten that even further?
My school probably cost R15 a term. I would check what they cost now, but they don’t have a website. Or computers.

Not amused...
My children go to school for free and the level is as good if not better than private schools back home.
This is how taxes are spent properly...
