Our Founders

Southdowns College, a member of the Centurus Colleges group, was founded in 2007 and is an independent school affiliated with the Independent Schools Association of South Africa. Southdowns College is situated next to the beautiful Southdowns Estate and Irene farmlands of Centurion. The vision of our founders, Centurus (Pty) Ltd, is that the area along the Hennops River Valley adjoining the Irene Village should be a group of exciting lifestyle enterprises that include environmentally attractive office parks, a convenient shopping Centre and a residential estate. 


Southdowns College is an important component of this vision that will provide a complete education solution for discerning families seeking a superior lifestyle. We are proud benefactors of the important contribution that Centurus is making towards a better life for its community.
