My five years at Oakridge College were some of the best years of my life. Oakridge encouraged me to form and discover my own paths in life while providing a friendly and nurturing environment. I will forever cherish the special memories and amazing friendships formed with the other students at Oakridge College.

Cindy Coetzer Oakridge Past Student

Oakridge is a small yet vibrant school. I enjoy the individual interaction and attention with my teachers, who teach us with passion.

Zama Dlomo Oakridge Past Student

As a parent of a matriculant at Oakridge College, I can say it was a great alternative to the normal school programme, as my daughter was very involved in swimming, and they went out of their way to accommodate her needs. She was very happy at Oakridge and has no regrets changing schools in grade 10 when choosing subjects.

Kate Fryer Oakridge Past Parent

I like Oakridge College because it allows you to grow as a person by giving you the opportunity to be independent.
