Thank you for your interest in sending your child to Riverwood College. In order for your child to apply to Riverwood College and to be considered, please complete and submit the online application form below for the year of entry. Failure to submit completed application forms will result in an invalid application.

  • Applications for Grade 1 2025 will be open from 1 February 2024 – 31 March 2024.
  • Applications for Grade 1 – 12 may be made at any time during the year, but as the school is full at the start of each year, we will only be able to accept new learners if somebody leaves Riverwood College

This application form is for Grade 1 – 11

Please Note

The following document attachments are required to complete the Online Application:

  • Proof of residence (Lights/Water account or letter from Municipality).
  • The learner’s most recent school report.

You will receive an email notifying you whether or not your child has been provisionally accepted. The provisionally accepted learners and their parents will then also be invited to an interview at school in the second term.

No application fee is payable. However, a non-refundable acceptance deposit will be payable upon acceptance. In addition to a tuition boarding deposit, an admission fee per learner, is payable on your child’s acceptance to the boarding.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU APPLY TO MORE THAN ONE HIGH SCHOOL AS THERE IS A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF LEARNERS THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE.
