Founded in 1997, Somerset College is an independent, co-educational school situated on a beautiful estate in the Winelands of the Western Cape. The College offers schooling from Grade 000 (age 4) to Matric, as well as Cambridge A-Levels. Boarding is available for students in the Senior School.
Boarding at Somerset College is available for senior school students from Grade 8 to Grade 12. The boarding facilities at Somerset College provide a comfortable, caring environment that fosters both academic and social growth. Boarders share rooms in pairs within their peer group, creating a safe and supportive space, while still being close to other grades. We accommodate both Cambridge and IEB students, with resident staff available at all times to ensure the well-being and safety of the boarders. Each house is run by a dedicated team, including a Matron for both houses, who provide emotional, social, physical, and spiritual support. The boarding team works closely with the Student Development Unit (SDU), offering counselling, chaplain services, and weekly youth evenings for spiritual growth. Students also have access to a qualified nurse for any health needs.
