    A great school.

    I'm a parent at the school, our son is in Grade 9. It is without a doubt a fantastic school, and I'm a total fan.

    Good school, bad teacher

    I Love this school, great grounds, great teachers, and nice students ( friends). I would 100% recommend you go to this school what not to love?! ohh ya there are like 5 teachers who are bad but one stands out, Mrs C.Van zyl she was my Afrikaans teacher and she really would pick on the bad, non afrikaans students. I never really got the opportunity to learn afrikaans like the other students no matter how hard I tried she always found out how to shout at me or get me in trouble. When ever i tried...

    Horrible school

    Oh I have to use good language you say I would like to say a bunch of words saying how this school destroys your mental health as it did mine the teachers are rude and only care about their salary I sincerely hope this school is one day discontinued so no one has to pay these abysmal school fees

    Review on Somerset College after a year

    I joined in October of 2021(last year) and this school is really good with a friendly community and a beautiful campus. I really enjoy it here and think it's one of the best schools in country. Something I really enjoy is the state of the art Esteam centre with drones and 3d printers. I came to SA from Nigeria so I'm still finding it hard to adjust to the 4 term calendar and still prefer 3 terms. The options for sports at this school should include football/soccer in my opinion because it's real popular in school and almost everyone plays it.

    wonderful school

    absolutely lovely, the staff are friendly and outgoing, the campus is stunning, and a great school. I was accepted into my top university in the UK, am so grateful for the background they have given me.

    Safe Haven <3

    I really really love it here, everybody is so supportive and there is always so much going on. I joined the school in grade 10 and stayed to do my AS and A levels, I am really grateful I had such a fantastic environment to grow up in
