For
more than a hundred years, Roedean, a school based on
Christian principles and beliefs, has stood firm in a
rapidly changing world.
The school’s original principles of Truth, Honour,
Freedom, and Courtesy have proved to be a steadfast
foundation on which the Roedean of today still
flourishes.
Roedean (SA) was founded in 1903 as a sister school to
the esteemed Roedean in Brighton, England, which was
itself established to provide an education for girls
that was equal to that provided by the illustrious
English boys’ schools. Armed with “the most modern
ideals for the education of girls”, Theresa Lawrence and
Katherine Margaret Earle set sail for South Africa at
the turn of the last century and began their school,
complete with 22 pupils, in a small house in
Johannesburg.
