St John's College is an independent Anglican school in Houghton, Johannesburg, founded in 1898 by the priests of St Mary's Church, only a dozen years after gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand. From 1906 to 1935 it was run by the Community of the Resurrection, a Benedictine-inspired order whose rhythm of prayer, study, work and recreation still shapes school life. St John's is mainly a boys' school but admits girls at both ends: the co-educational Bridge Nursery School takes children from Grade 0000, boys continue through the Pre-Preparatory (Grades 0 to 2), the Preparatory (Grades 3 to 7) and the College (Grades 8 to 12), and the co-educational Sixth Form offers Cambridge IGCSE, AS and A Levels after Grade 9 or as a post-matric year. College boys write the Independent Examinations Board matric. Boarding is available in the College and the Sixth Form. The school is a member of ISASA, the G30 Schools group and the International Boys' Schools Coalition, and supports education beyond its gates through its Academy, a Centenary Scholarship programme and teacher internships.

School values
The school motto, Lux Vita Caritas (Light, Life and Love), sums up its Anglican ethos. St John's aims to be a home of religious discipline, sound learning and goodwill, sending out young people trained in body, mind and character, with integrity, altruism and resilience. Daily chapel worship reflects the Anglo-Catholic heritage while welcoming families of all faiths, and the school encourages students to think with a global mind and an African heart.

St John's is organised in five schools on one campus. The Bridge Nursery School is co-educational for Grades 0000 to 00 and follows a play-based approach drawing on Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio ideas. Boys then attend the Pre-Preparatory (Grades 0 to 2), the Preparatory School (Grades 3 to 7) and the College (Grades 8 to 12), which leads to the IEB matric. The co-educational Sixth Form offers a three-year IGCSE and A Level route after Grade 9, a two-year AS and A Level route after Grade 10, and a one-year post-matric A Level year.
