Crawford College Pretoria (Pretoria)

R190,000 a year for matric. One hundred and ninety thousand rand. Bra, that is not school fees, that is a deposit on a townhouse in Centurion. Your parents did not send you to Crawford, they invested in you like a unit trust and now they expect a 12% annual return minimum. You better come home with distinctions or the family WhatsApp group is going to be very quiet at Christmas. And the location, Lukasrand, Pretoria. They could not even put it in Sandton or Waterkloof where the money vibes match. Lukasrand sounds like a place your uncle drives through on the way to the hardware store. But no, apparently that is where R190k a year lives now. Pretoria doing the most as usual, jy weet hoe is dit. Crawford also has this energy where the school prospectus reads like a LinkedIn profile that nobody asked for. "Holistic development, future leaders, globally competitive learners." Broe, you are in Lukasrand, Pretoria. The only thing globally competitive about this situation is the fees, which could genuinely hold their own against a mid-tier Swiss boarding school. Meanwhile load shedding does not care how much your parents paid, that geography exam is still happening by candlelight. Overall verdict: Crawford Pretoria will absolutely give your CV a glow-up, but your parents will be paying off the school fees until your own kids are in matric.
