Our High School gives every learner from Grade 8 to 12 a rigorous, values-based education in a caring community where they are known, supported and prepared for life after Matric, in the classroom, on the sports field and in everything in between.

Ashbury High School is part of Ashbury College, a UMALUSI-accredited independent school in Fairleads, Benoni. Every learner from Grade 8 to 12 is part of a close-knit community where they are known by name, supported in the classroom and encouraged to grow in character as much as in results.
From Grade 10, strong focus is placed on preparing learners for Matric and life beyond school. Our motto, Together We Grow, is reflected in our school logo: a tree that grows stronger, bears fruit and provides shade for others. That is our vision for every Ashbury matriculant.
