Learning for Life

Bridge House is a world-class South African learning community, realising each individual’s potential to lead, innovate and serve in a changing world.

The School, situated in the magnificent Cape Winelands close to Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl is a well established, independent day / boarding school for over seven hundred girls and boys from Playschool to Grade 12.
