Located in Nottingham Road in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, Carlyle College is an independent, co-educational Pre-School, Preparatory and High School.

Set on a historic 7-hectare campus, Carlyle combines small classes with an academically strong, IEB-aligned curriculum and real-world learning embedded into everyday education. Daily transport from Hilton and Howick makes access convenient for Midlands families.

Rooted in values. Focused on the individual. Preparing students for life.

Small classes ensure every child is known. Relationships are strong. Learning is purposeful. Individual pathways are supported and no student slips through the gaps.

We develop more than academic ability. Character, creativity and confidence are woven into daily school life — because success is about more than marks. Through industry partnerships and practical application, students gain the mindset and skills needed for university, entrepreneurship or the world of work.

As a family-run school, relationships matter. Parents are partners. Communication is open. Our community is personal, not transactional. Targeted academic and emotional support, with access to therapists and learning specialists, ensures every learner can move forward with confidence.

Rooted in Midlands values with a global outlook, Carlyle is guided by five core principles:

Be Community Minded.
Be a Critical Thinker.
Be an Individual.
Be a Leader.
Be Resilient.

Carlyle develops confident, capable young people who understand why they are learning — and where it can take them.
