Founded in 1959 as a small preparatory school, Southbourne has proudly nurtured young minds for over 60 years. Originally serving Grades 1-3, we've embraced growth and opportunity, expanding to offer a comprehensive curriculum for students from Reception through Grade 7.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our core values. We foster a nurturing, English-medium environment that celebrates individual potential. Through small class sizes and dedicated educators, we empower learners to excel academically, socially, and personally. We believe in lifelong learning and invest in our faculty's professional development to ensure they can inspire and guide our students.

Southbourne goes beyond academics, offering a vibrant co-curricular program that includes remedial support, music, cultural clubs, and a variety of sporting activities – rugby, hockey, soccer, netball, and golf. We've embraced the future by integrating coding and robotics into the curriculum, preparing our students for a technological world.
