Our School: Reddam House Waterfall
Reddam House Waterfall is a co-educational and non-denominational environment designed to recognise, nurture, and develop the individuality of each student. We strive to extend students to their maximum potential in all aspects of education.

Our teachers understand the importance of teaching the required curriculum while also forming relationships with students built on trust and mutual respect. The school’s architecture is perfectly suited to the rustic environment, with wood and stone-clad walls. This tranquil setting provides an atmosphere conducive to discovery and learning.

Phase 1 of the Preparatory and Secondary School was opened in 2012 with 600 students, and by 2013, with community confidence, the student body grew to over 1,000. The school is designed to accommodate up to 2,000 students. A close-knit Reddam House community welcomes children from 1 year old to Grade 12.

We offer a diverse, stimulating subject choice for Stage 1 to Grade 12 students, affiliated with the Independent Examinations Board (IEB). Our highly qualified, dynamic, and experienced teachers are the custodians of each child’s future.

All students in our Preparatory School are required to participate in at least two extra-curricular activities per week—one sporting and one cultural. The Music @ Reddam programme is a wonderful curriculum offering for all students in Grades 4 – 6.
