In 1993 the Fourie family started one of the first affordable private schools in South Africa, and more than 25 years later there are 13 schools on five campuses, with more than 5 000 learners and almost 300 staff members. The organisation's goal is to make private schooling accessible, to provide quality affordable private school education to 10 000 learners per annum over the next few years.The last 26 years have seen Royal Schools produce powerful results. Many Royal Schools alumni hold top positions in South Africa’s most esteemed organisations, each school has produced consistently excellent matric results, and Royal Schools has stuck uncompromisingly to its standards of education and affordability.
