Independent Catholic Education for more than 100 Years!

Sacred Heart College has a rich historical story that dates back to 1889 when three Marist Brothers arrived in Johannesburg from Cape Town by ox-wagon. The school was in Koch Street and was called Sacred Heart School. It was for boys only.

Over the next 35 years, as Johannesburg grew from a mining town into a busy city, the demand for a good education grew. The building in Koch Street wasn’t big enough, and in 1924, part of the school moved to the outskirts of Johannesburg and became known as Marist Brothers Observatory.
