Crawford International Sandton

Crawford International Sandton is a leading independent, co-educational school in Benmore Gardens, Sandton, that has served Johannesburg families for over 25 years. Part of the Crawford International group (a brand of the JSE-listed ADvTECH group), it educates children from pre-primary through to Grade 12 across a Preparatory and a College, on a campus whose classrooms, studios, laboratories and specialist centres overlook its sporting fields.

The school’s ethos is built on mutual respect, diversity and inclusion, with a deliberately personalised, mentored approach captured in its belief that “every child is a masterpiece.” Uniquely, the Preparatory School is an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), while the College offers a wide, flexible choice of more than 20 subjects and writes the IEB National Senior Certificate, with each senior student individually timetabled.

Academically the College is consistently excellent – the Class of 2024 achieved a 100% matric pass and 100% Bachelor’s-degree pass, averaging 4.3 distinctions per student. Teaching is technology-rich, with SMART Boards and iPads throughout, and is supported by an on-site centre offering occupational, physio and speech therapy alongside academic support. Co-curricular life is strong across sport (with a lively house system and notable success in basketball, among other codes), drama and the arts, while a Crawford Kidz Club and holiday club support working families.

Set on an attractive campus close to the heart of Sandton, the school provides top-class facilities and an “all-inclusive” fee model. Recent annual fees run from roughly R117,000 in Grade R to around R212,000 in Grade 12; full fee and admissions details are available from the school.
