Principal's Message

There is something wonderful and indeed very special about a country school.ย  Nestled at the foot of Spandau Mountain, Union Preparatory can boast one of the prettiest settings in the Eastern Cape.

There is serenity so deep that it filters through every classroom and each pupil fortunate enough to attend this school.

The pupils themselves are untouched by the stresses of city life and have a noticeable camaraderie between them. "They care for one another", say their teachers "and support each other in a very sincere and loving way".

We believe that education for our "Preppies" rests equally with the home and the school and we actively involve our parents in as many events and activities as possible.ย  Union Prep is a busy little school with a wide variety of sporting and cultural activites being offered.

Union Preparatory was established in 1967 and has grown to be a school of great standing and proud tradition. Here the needs of your child are of utmost importance and you are assured of a well rounded education from Grade 1-4 where we cater for each learner in his totality.
