Unlocking potential
Building brilliance
Shaping the future, one girl at a time
At St Cyprian’s, set on beautiful grounds on the slopes of Table Mountain, education is about far more than what happens in the classroom. Here, girls grow into thoughtful, capable young women, ready to lead and take on the world.
For more than a century, our school community has been known for its inclusion and thoughtfulness, striving to provide holistic and enriching educational experiences for every student. Academic excellence is at the heart of what we do. Our teachers encourage our girls to explore, question and think independently. Sport, music and the arts ignite passions and allow every student to discover what inspires her.

There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.”
Co-curricular activities
Co-curricular activities form a vital part of school life, supporting the holistic development of each student beyond the classroom. Through a rich programme of sport and the arts, girls build confidence, creativity and resilience while discovering their individual talents. Whether on the sports field, on stage or in the studio, these experiences nurture teamwork, discipline and a lifelong appreciation for both physical and creative pursuits.
In the spotlight
St Cyprian's Day 2026
St Cyprian's Day and its festivities have passed, and it was wonderful to celebrate with our alumnae from around the world.
From reconnecting with old friends to making new memories, we planned a series of events that honoured our shared history, traditions, and the generations of women who continue to shape our community.
Alumnae who left St Cyprian's recently or many years ago attended, and it was wonderful to welcome you all back for a week full of festivities.
