It was founded in 1907 as an interdenominational Multi-faith school and today educates over a thousand pupils from pre-primary (3 years) to high school (grade 12). The school is part of ISASA (the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa) and matriculants write the South African IEB examinations. In 2018, the school also introduced the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma Program as an optional parallel program to the IEB.
The school is divided into a Redhill Early Learning Center, Redhill Preparatory School and Redhill High School. All three schools share a campus and many facilities. Redhill offers two curricula in high school: the IEB & IB programs - this offers students more choice.
Red Radio (redradio.caster.fm) is a committee within Redhill, giving students the medium to express themselves.
Architecture
The park like campus is dominated by red-brick buildings with green corrugated iron roofing. The oldest buildings on the campus are a set of thatched rondavels in a typical African style.
