Clifton, the Independent boys’ school in Durban, is situated in the beautiful suburb of Morningside. 

We are proud to offer world-class, holistic education for boys from Grade 00 through to Grade 12, catering specifically to the development of boys into responsible, confident and competent young men.

A boys’ school by conviction, Clifton provides an educational environment that is designed to facilitate learning and assist in developing young men of character, who share an uncompromising belief in the power of family values, who thrive on competition, delight in discovery, exercise compassion and are courageous in their choices.

We walk this journey of progress and development with our young men and, as you will see from our public media, there are numerous activities and opportunities from which our boys can choose and grow. 

At the same time, we are conscious of our motto, “ Prodesse Quam Conspici” – to accomplish, rather than to be conspicuous. As such, our boys remain humble and well-mannered.

Take some time to explore our social profiles and website. Better still, we invite you to visit us at our campus in Morningside, where you will be warmly received. 

We hope that you will experience the sense of enjoyment that our boys and staff feel from being part of this wonderful school.
