Kathstan College was established in 1988. The founders have achieved their goal of establishing a school which accommodates children of average to above average intelligence and provides specifically for their individual needs. Our objective at Kathstan College is to accompany the child on his/her way to adulthood, instilling Christian values and a sense of worth in the child. Where it is necessary, an effective and highly qualified team provide remedial education.

Religious instruction is taught throughout the school with the emphasis on character formation based on Christian values. All pupils receive such instruction and are expected to attend daily prayers.

Parents are invited to attend a special assembly and service held once a month, together with their children and the staff.

Kathstan provides a counselling and guidance facility. This is for any pupil or parent who has a problem or who needs educational, personal or vocational advice. In this regard, private interviews are arranged.

In Grade 9 and again in Grade 11, pupils undertake psychometric testing, organised within the school, to help determine subject choice for high school and to give direction for future careers. The results of this testing is relayed to pupils individually.

Kathstan College is situated on 8 hectares of beautiful gardens, wooded areas and grassland and overlooks a natural wetland, haven for a plethora of birds, bullfrogs, insects and plant life. This creates a feeling of spaciousness and natural tranquility which is the dominant mood of the school. The ideal of space is echoed in the daily school life of the pupils - space in which to grow, to explore and to expand, safe in a caring environment in which there are few obstacles to achieving their potential.

It is our belief that this feeling of oneness with the environment assists in pupils finding fulfillment and happiness, and facilitates the development of good character and a positive outlook on life.
