Our Mission
Pridwin aims to unlock the unique and multifaceted potential of each boy, so that he is able to make a worthwhile contribution to society.
Pridwin Preparatory is a school that emphasises the individual. My son was given every opportunity to thrive, grow and discover his strengths and weaknesses in a caring environment
At Pridwin my son was known by name by every staff member at school. Because of the small caring environment, he was able to discover who he is in a safe and nurturing space
We were approached by the likes of Hilton, Michaelhouse, St Johns College, and St Andrews College to name a few. All wanted our son to choose their high school. It was clear to me then that Pridwin boys are highly sought after by these high schools and we were able to choose our preferred high school for our son.
