Our Christian Brothers heritage

CBC St John's forms part of a wider family of Christian Brothers schools in South Africa and in the world today.

Our founder, an Irishman named Edmund Rice, was a wealthy businessman, a widower and a parent. he lived at a time when many of his country were oppressed, impoverished and had no access to education. He believed that the education was the key to empowerment and social transformation.

He founded theCongragation of the Christian Brothers in Waterford in 1802 to provide quality education for the materially poor. Over the past 200 years the Christian Brothers have founded schoolsand colleges all over the globe and have a rich heritage of humanitarian upliftment.

The Edmund Rice dream is shared by millions of teachers, students and parents today. We believe that the greatest investment that we can make is to provide our children with a strong values-based and holistic philosophy of education.
