Bishops Diocesan College (City Of Cape Town)

Okay so Bishops. The school where you pay R220,480 a year for Grade 12 so your son can become a "fulfilled and responsible man." Broe, for R220k I want him to arrive home already employed, with a pension, and a view of the mountain. That is not school fees, that is a deposit on a sectional title in Claremont. And they start charging you R94,872 in Grade R. The child cannot read yet. He is eating glue and crying because someone took his crayon and you are already bonded to this institution like a home loan. Then they describe themselves as committed to "all-roundedness." All-roundedness. In a boys-only school. In the Southern Suburbs. Where the biggest diversity debate is whether to take the M3 or the M5. With 1352 boys and 110 teachers, that is a 12:1 ratio, which sounds great until you realise those teachers are probably also coaching rugby, running chapel, and emotionally recovering from the 2023 first team season. And the Anglican thing. Jy weet hoe is dit. Every assembly starts with something vaguely spiritual and ends with a reminder about blazer standards. Boys are out here doing confirmation and also learning to network before they are seventeen. Overall verdict: Bishops is essentially a five-star hotel that occasionally teaches calculus, and honestly for those fees it better be sending these boys out fulfilled, responsible, AND able to fix load shedding.
