WELCOME TO
HILTON COLLEGE
where we celebrate and inspire every one of our 590 diversely talented young men
We strive for excellence, but excellence looks different for everyone
For us, excellence is instilling in boys a lifelong love of learning, rather than training them to jump through hoops. We develop in our boys a growth mindset, coaching them to strive for their personal best. Every Hilton boy enjoys the support of a team of academic and house staff, sports coaches and mentors, all invested in their growth.
By belonging to a diverse community, Hilton boys come to recognise their humanity
Boys from across South Africa and the globe come here to immerse themselves in a rare blend of experiences that inspire self-knowledge, growth and generosity. We’re an inclusive school – made up of people from a wide range of creeds, cultures and countries – seeking out and embracing boys with different abilities, strengths and aspirations.
In a world that’s often jaded and confusing, we inspire boys to inspire others
Your son’s story won’t be prescribed by others. It is his to write. Our role is to give him wise counsel and immerse him in experiences (not all comfortable) that reveal to him who he is and challenge him to be the best version of himself. The thing about living inspired is that it’s contagious.
We honour boyhood, ignite self-discovery, unite in diversity and stand in grace
Drawing strength and direction from more than 150 years of proud tradition, Hilton College moulds young boys into men of good character and integrity, gentlemen who live up to their responsibilities and are in step with a fast-moving world.
our best-kept secret
Our proclaimed nature reserve
We know of no other school in the world that boasts its own proclaimed nature reserve. This priceless asset is our boys’ “backyard”. A space gloriously wild and full of natural wonders, it is there to be explored, shared and treasured for posterity. A vast 650 hectares (six square kilometres), our reserve is home to giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, caracal, serval, jackal, several species of buck and about 300 species of birds.
Generations of Old Hiltonians have made memories in the reserve, hiking the undulating valleys and cliffs, hunting for nests, following spoors, camping under the stars or frolicking under the four Gwens waterfalls.
Truly, it is a magnificent place.
