Education in Grahamstown

Grahamstown is one of the main centres of education in Southern Africa. It is Grahamstown's biggest industry and the arrival of so many young people gives the town a vibrant mood that must be unique for a town of its size. With Rhodes University and its attractive campus, the East Cape Midlands College, housed in the St Aidens complex, the finest example of collegiate gothic in South Africa and many excellent schools, the town is indeed a different kind of a dorp.
