The South African College High School is the oldest high school in South Africa, founded in September 1829. It is located in Newlands, Cape Town, at the foot of Table Mountain and Devils Peak.
Between 1880 and 1900 the school expanded into university education. This was separated in 1919 as the University of Cape Town.
