Cordwalles Preparatory School is situated in Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal, a province in the Republic of South Africa. The school, proudly ‘boys only’, was founded in 1912 by the then Bishop of Natal, Bishop Samuel Baines with twelve boys. Enrolment has now grown to more than three hundred and sixty boys in 2016.

Boarding facilities are available for boys from Grade 4 to 7.

Cordwalles is a member of the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA). A focus of personal excellence; an emphasis on christian values; long-standing tradition – these are just some of the facets which make Cordwalles Preparatory School a popular choice for young boys. The seventh Headmaster is Lance Veenstra.
