Pinnacle College Kyalami

Pinnacle College Kyalami is an independent, co-educational private school in the heart of Kyalami, Midrand, educating students from Grade R to Grade 12 within the Pinnacle Colleges group. The school traces its roots to the New Era Schools Trust (NEST), founded in the 1980s by Deane Yates and Steyn Krige with a pioneering vision of inclusive, non-racial private education, and writes the IEB National Senior Certificate.

Pinnacle College Kyalami offers a nurturing, inclusive and innovative environment focused on shaping confident, future-ready young people. Its world-class IEB curriculum is supported by AI-driven personalised learning, a strong STEM emphasis (including Mathematics, Coding, Robotics and AI), and future-focused subject choices aligned with university readiness. The school runs its academic programme on three continuous-assessment cycles to identify and address each student’s needs early. As a secular school, it acknowledges and respects the diversity of faiths on campus, within a culture built on empathy, respect and responsibility.

A distinctive feature is its state-of-the-art boarding facility, available from Grade 4 to Grade 12, which builds independence, collaboration and routine. Co-curricular life is strong across sport and culture, and the school runs a notable high-performance football partnership with Transition Football, a European-styled academy programme for players aged 5 to 19 that lets students balance studies with elite training.

Set on a well-resourced Kyalami campus, Pinnacle College Kyalami combines academics, sport and boarding in one offering. Full fee and admissions details are available directly from the school.
