Introduction to Drakondale School of the Arts
Drakondale was founded in 2017 by John Tungay and Wendy Clarke and offers Academic excellence alongside a unique experience for learners of the Arts.
In 2021 our first group of Grade 12 learners graduated with a 100% pass rate. We provide focused learning through the CAPS Curriculum and in the arts field, specializing in MUSIC, DRAMA, DANCE AND VISUAL ARTS, a game changing option in our area.
We encourage our learners to develop holistically in and through the Arts, whilst achieving their highest standards of Academic success, thus preparing them for life.
Our Principal, Mr. Botes Gresse was appointed in August 2018 and has grown the school from strength to strength.
Our premises are set in the most beautiful and tranquil surrounds in the agricultural area of Merrivale, Howick – falling within the KZN Midlands.
DRAKONDALE offers a curriculum of academic excellence that is fully integrated with a stimulating arts programme (Music Studies; Visual Arts; Dance Studies; Dramatic Arts). We offer a unique learning experience focusing on the needs of the individual learner as they thrive in a community with a strong sense of belonging.
