Felixton College was the first independent school north of the Tugela to offer weekly boarding to boys and girls 8 years ago and we pride ourselves in our "home from home" facilities.
The College is situated on a beautiful rural site in the Felixton village, 12 kilometres south of Empangeni and the accommodation is offered within the security of the village in close proximity to the College buildings.
The boarding establishment is run on a small family scale - Richard Bennett is in charge of Daffon House and Hanlie Myburgh in charge of Nottingham House. In addition there are resident teacher interns on each site to assist with the day-to-day running of the houses.
The College has a swimming pool, as well as tennis and squash facilities, and a 9-hole golf course close at hand. Our children have many opportunities for relaxation once their work is complete.
Services offered by our new boarding houses include a daily laundry service to ensure our children are never without sports kit and uniforms. Safety has been a priority and each house has an armed response security system as well as being fully burglar guarded. A trained chef provides the boarders with healthy and nutritious meals from the fully equipped kitchen.
Please contact the Admissions Secretary at the College on 035 791 1267 for further information, and the necessary application forms, which are also available from this site. (Go to 'Downloads')
