Crawford International North Coast

Crawford International North Coast is an independent, co-educational private school set on an idyllic, secure campus at Westbrook on KwaZulu-Natal’s pristine North Coast, a short drive from both Ballito and uMhlanga and just ten minutes from King Shaka International Airport. Part of Crawford International – the schools division of the JSE-listed ADvTECH Group – it offers a world-class education from age 2 (Pre-Primary) through to Grade 12, blending day schooling with boarding, which is available from Grade 6 in individual rooms on a termly basis that promotes both independence and community.

Crawford’s approach is intentional, personal and future-focused, with every student known and valued in an environment that celebrates individuality while upholding mutual respect, dignity and accountability. The academic programme is internationally benchmarked – using assessments such as ICAS, IBTs and MAP to measure growth in literacy, numeracy and critical thinking – and built around inquiry-based learning that carries through from the preparatory years into the College. From Grade 8 to Grade 12 the journey is carefully structured towards success in the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) examinations, with a choice of more than 20 subjects, an eight-subject senior offering and expert counselling on subject choice, careers and university applications both locally and abroad.

Beyond academics, the school develops confident, values-driven leaders across sport, culture and service, and as an Eco-School it champions environmental responsibility and sustainability. Cutting-edge technology, AI-supported learning and small classes round out the offering. Full fee and admissions details are available directly from the school.
