Reddam House Waterfall is a co‑educational and non‑denominational environment designed to recognise, nurture and develop the individuality of each student placed in our care and to extend students to their maximum potential. Our teachers understand the need not only for the importance of teaching the required curriculum, but also for forming a relationship with your child, a relationship that is built on trust and mutual respect. The school’s architecture is perfectly suited to the rustic environment it finds itself in, with wood and stone‑clad walls. The tranquil setting provides an atmosphere that is conducive to discovery and learning. Phase 1 of the Preparatory and Secondary School was opened in 2012 with 600 students and, with community confidence, the student body grew to more than 1,000 students in 2013 and has continued to grow each subsequent year. The school is designed ultimately to accommodate 2,000 students. A caring, close‑knit Reddam House community welcomes children from 1 year old to Grade 12. We nurture individuality, talent and self‑assurance in a secure, relaxed and self‑disciplined environment. Catering for Stage 1 to Grade 12 students, affiliated to the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) – and offering a diverse, stimulating subject choice – highly qualified, dynamic, experienced teachers are the custodians of your child’s future.
