Situated on 23 acres of rolling Kwazulu-Natal Midlands grassland, against the stunning backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountains, King's is uniquely placed to provide a hands-on approach to ecological studies.

Besides the grounds and gardens, the school also includes a plantation, a dam and a natural spring system. Here children learn to appreciate nature’s bounty and come to understand that they are guardians of this increasingly fragile heritage.

The emphasis is on learning and participation. To this end, King’s offers a wide range of extramural activities, including sports and specialized clubs, to supplement the formal education in the classrooms. King’s caters for day scholars, boarders and weekly boarders.
