School fees at St Benedict’s

St Benedict’s is a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO No:930 007 117) and receives no subsidy from the state. All costs of running the school are covered by the school fees. Our aim is to provide boys with a high quality education that is comparable with South Africa’s most affluent and exclusive schools, while at the same time being accessible to as wide a range of parents as possible.

  2. St Benedict’s does not require a refundable term’s fee in advance. Instead, our non-refundable enrolment fee is a once-off payment, payable in the relevant amount only when one first enrols at the school and not as a pupil progresses through each section of the school. The exception is the progression from Grade 00 to Grade 0, at which time the initial R5,000 fee for Gr 00 must be topped up to R15,000. The enrolment fee forms part of the general funds of the school.
  3. A Capital Levy is billed per annum as follows:
    • 1st child: R6 300
    • 2nd child: R4 790
    • 3rd child: R3 200
    • Matric parents are exempt from this Capital Levy.
  4. The Grade 12 IEB Examination Fee is payable in full by the end of May. Should a candidate offer more than the seven-subject package, there will be an additional charge for each subject in addition to the seven subjects. This will include learners who are registered for Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy.
  5. Gr 12 parents will be billed for their son’s matric jacket and matric dance ticket/s. Both are optional extras.
  6. Aftercare options are as follows:
    • Full Subscription: 5 days a week until 17:30 with lunch provided, and includes Holiday care in April, the Term 2 midterm and the first week of December holidays. It excludes the Term 1 and 3 midterm breaks.
