A warm welcome to Umhlanga College, an independent school that treasures its past, values its present and looks forward with anticipation to its future.

Umhlanga College, an initiative of Durban Girls' College, opened its doors in 2003 and since then has grown rapidly to its present number of 565 pupils, who are spread across our Play School, Pre School, Foundation and Intermediate Phases.

Umhlanga College, although it sits on the edge of the rapidly expanding Umhlanga Ridge, is a school that retains a "country" feel. Set in rolling cane fields, the school provides modern and spacious facilities, where children are allowed to be children whilst functioning within the parameters of a robust and diverse curriculum and where they are encouraged to achieve the best of which they are capable. We pride ourselves in preparing our children for each consecutive Grade and our Grade 7's for the rigours, demands and challenges of KwaZulu-Natal's finest High Schools.

We are committed as a school to providing a holistic education and for recognising and developing the innate potential within each child. Thus it is, that we foster academic, sporting and cultural excellence, underpinned by a strong and supportive, pastoral care system.

We are proud of our pupils and of the happy and welcoming atmosphere that exists in our school thanks to the dedicated input of our faculty of professional teachers and the strong support base provided by our parents.

If you would like your child to be a part of this vibrant school community, please call my secretary, Veronica McKechnie to set up a time to visit us. We would be delighted to share the Umhlanga College vision with you.
