WHPS.

General information

Waterkloof House Preparatory School is situated in Pretoria, South Africa. WHPS is an independent School, offering education to boys and girls in Grades 000 and 00; and boys only from Grades 0 to Grade 7, through the medium of English. Boarding is offered to boys from Grade 3 to Grade 7.

Founded in 1923 by the Ruddell brothers, the vision of the School is to realise the holistic development of its boys using a broad-base to promote high moral values; independent thinking; self-discipline and a positive self-image, enabling each boy to realise his full potential in academics, sporting and cultural fields within a Christian environment.

Affectionately known as WHPS, a certain element sets Waterkloof House Preparatory School apart from any other school - its ethos is legendary. Embodied in its motto, ‘Work Hard Play Straight’, this ethos is embedded in a deep spirit of community.

Every member of the School's community contributes his or her own special gifts to create a unique environment. Individual teachers, boys, parents and support staff are all touched by the atmosphere that pervades at our School.
