About Us
Established 2006.
Nurturing academic excellence.
With the main primary and high school campus now in Fourways, Lonehill International has its roots in the suburb of Lonehill.
Established in 2006, Lonehill International was born from the need to find a suitable alternative to the GDE and IEB curriculums available in South Africa. Spearheaded by Derick and Retha van der Schyf and beginning with a handful of students in a homeschool environment, Lonehill blossomed into an established, multi-award winning, private Cambridge International school renowned for academic excellence.
Lonehill Science Lab.
Due to rapid growth, the founders decided to convert the Lonehill campus into a state-of-the-art science lab and move its main campus to Fourways. Lonehill specialises in the Cambridge Combined School Stages RR to 12, IGCSE, AS, and A-Levels for full-time students and homeschooling parents needing an examination centre.
