Pretoria Boys High School Review
Horrible school i must say, looks all perfect and gloomy on the outside but mean and toxic on the inside. As an old boy i love the school but I do not understand how they run it especially in the boarding houses. Older forms bully and push around the younger guys and they can easliy get away with it. I dont expect there to be no bullying in hostel, but they can atleast try. Every excuse is that he is older or he has more privlages which is another thing that i dont understand. There are all th...

Great yet bad
The best school in the world!!! Amazing school, grounds, staff, learners and buildings. My problems Environment. Both toxic and some classrooms unclean. My sons came from a primary school where they cleaned each classroom every day (both students and support staff) some of these classrooms are horrific. Especially the ones at Pollock campus. Some learners are very racist and unnecessarily rude. Teachers These teachers hate younger grades/form cuz of form/grade privilege. Quite stupid I mus...

The Best School In The World
There is simply no school like “The School On The Hill”. The energy and spirit at this institution is electric and the physical appearance of the enormous beautiful grounds is such out of a movie. With the schools aim of producing well rounded individuals with a cultural, academic and sporting appreciation, you cannot go wrong. There is no school like this in the world, truely a great experience for students and visitors, you will be able to feel the energy.

Room for improvement
The school's efforts to uphold the ethos and values is commendable. Excellent extramural curriculum. Teachers are generally well trained but lack diverse teaching styles. The school really needs to address the discrimination and division within the student body. The classroom is often a hostile environment for minority groups.

Best school in the world
The school is great, if you are a border you will have a tough first few weeks but love it in no time, there is lots of culture, traditions and students have respect and honor, not a better school in the world

Pretoria boys high school is amazing school. I enjoy the school but I do wish a few things could change. The education system is wonderful. The way the boys act around female teachers, homophobia and discrimination towards LGBTQ+. Will admit it has gotten better. In terms of racial discrimination, there isn’t but the school could educate the boys on equality, in gender, sex , sexual orientation. One of my friends is bullied every single day by the same people because he is openly feminine. There are a fair share of boys and staff who aren’t discriminative towards women, gender, sexual orientation etc. As student of the school I would say it is a good school but not everything is perfect

Boys high magic
Pretoria Boys’ High school In my five years at this establishment I came to learn that there are no contenders for a better school in the world. From the magnificent grounds to and their hard working ground staff to the most kind and sincere teachers. From core values of integrity honor to the lessons you learn from your peers. Boys high is a magical place one that I have come to learn As the best school in the world

Boys High is probably the best school in the world
School is not bad not a system...great educational purposes and also great sport which is well rounded. Is a school with great moral values and respect as well individuals growing in a brotherhood. Some things are not resolved with the system...in terms of bullying and racism as well even though there is a minimum of it. Systems of bullying have come up but boys do not consider it seriously or is not referred properly and yet it is not in use. The school isn't a bad school it could just be a greater in certain parts but overall they are doing quite well in their department.

Everyday is a new experience
Tis here we learn to live. The school's motto which does not lie. As a student I have made friends that will last forever and learnt amazing lessons from the teachers. I proudly say I go to Boys High and one day hope to send my son there.

The school on top of the world
Pretoria Boys High School isn’t actually a school- we’re a family. A family of sportsmen, academics, philosophers, learners and teachers.
