With a rich history dating back to 1867, St Dominic's Priory in Miramar, Gqeberha, is an independent, Catholic coeducational day school in the Dominican tradition that prides itself on developing the whole child.

St Dominic's Priory School caters for pupils from grade pre-R to matric; it equips learners with the knowledge and skills they need to engage with the world, both now and after grade 12. They're not only prepared for the future, but encouraged to critically engage with the present, and reflect carefully on the past.

Guided by the assessment principles of the Independent Examination Board (IEB), the school has a long tradition of excellent matric results with a 100% pass rate.

The academic curriculum is complemented by a variety of sports, cultural, service and outreach programmes.

Grades 1 to 7 engage in a sustainable and entrepreneurial gardening project.

In grades 8 to 12, inspired by St John Henry Newman’s “liberal education”, pupils learn for the love of learning: knitting, music and dance accompany card-making, diorama building and basic drawing skills. Bookworms are delighted by a critical introduction to classical texts, world myths and luminous thinkers.
