St David’s Marist Inanda is one of South Africa’s leading independent Catholic boys’ schools, located in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg.
Established in 1941, it has a reputation for striking a balance between high academic standards and a strong family spirit, rooted in Marist values.
These values include humility, simplicity, and modesty, a family spirit, love of work, presence and “In the Way of Mary”.
The school is situated on a 21-acre campus on Rivonia Road and caters to boys from Grade 00 to Matric.
By 1948, it had its first matric class, and by 1953, the boys were participating competitively in athletics, swimming, tennis, rugby, football and cricket.
In 2023, St David’s opened a satellite campus in Alexandra to extend its Marist footprint in line with its vision and mission.
St David’s has over 1400 pupils across the two campuses, offering world-class facilities to support the development and growth of its learners.
They are highly competitive in cricket, water polo, rugby, football, and canoeing. The Temba Bavuma Oval is named after their famous alumnus.
St David’s Marist Inanda has a big music and arts culture. Their choir has won international awards, and they have a strong tradition in debating and drama.
St David’s is consistently among the top-performing schools in South Africa under the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) curriculum.
Class sizes for complex subjects, such as mathematics, are kept small, often with as few as 14 students, to allow for individualised attention.
Other notable alumni include soccer player Giulio Giuricich, cricketers Dominic Hendricks and Pumelela Matshikwe, and EFF MP Vuyani Pambo.
