Situated on top of a hill and overlooking grand views of the Karkloof and the spectacle of the snow clad Drakensberg Mountains during clear winter days - Wartburg Kirchdorf School is an attractive alternative to the humdrum of the big city. Located within the confines of the Wartburg Village (about 30kms outside Pietermaritzburg), the school embraces an ethos steeped in the proud traditions of the greater rural community. A heritage that stretches back to 1881, when the original Wartburg and Kirchdorf schools were built. Co-educational in structure and offering an educational progression from Pre-Primary to Grade 12 (all within one campus) the school prides itself in the personal attention it offers to its learners.
