More about Bishops


Bishops is a way of life. Enrolling at Bishops means joining a large family of people all over the world who share common bonds with each other based on their years at school. All walks of life converge here – we are rich in diversity. Most of the current pupils come from the Western Cape but there are boys from all over South Africa and from various parts of Africa as well.

One of the strengths of a Bishops education has been the recognition of each individual’s special talent or interest so that we can assist it to develop. Structures within the school such as the House system and the tutor groups allow for much closer contact between boys, and between staff and boys, which enables recognition of both achievements and problems.

Our curriculum is developed around a solid core of tested practices and measured innovation. Learning happens in classrooms, on the sports fields, in the music rooms, in Chapel, and in the many outdoor opportunities which we build on. Our traditions are strong and are based on solid values which we hold up as models of behaviour whenever we can.
