Glenvista High is a co-educational school situated in the heart of the area that is known as the “New South".
Whether in the classroom or on the school grounds, one has the magnificent view of the surrounding koppies,
unique to Johannesburg.
Our school opened its doors in 1988 to 114 pupils and 9 teachers. The remainder of the buildings was completed
the following year and the development of the sportsfields and school grounds got underway. On 8 September 1990,
Dr. P. H. Bredenkamp, the then Director of Education, officially opened Glenvista High.
Glenvista High has a large complement of pupils numbering over a thousand. Applications far exceed vacancies and
only pupils within the feeder area can be accommodated. Glenvista High is a growing school, which continually strives
to create and uphold certain expected traditions. Pupils and teachers work together to create an educated and happy future.
Our school culture encourages a spirit of enquiry, creativity and involvement. Glenvista High is vibrant and dynamic with
facilities of an extremely high standard.
