Welcome to

Crawford International Sandton Preparatory

At Crawford International Sandton Preparatory, we believe every child deserves to be seen, supported and challenged to grow. We encourage independent thinking, nurture individual strengths and guide each student towards achieving their full potential.

Our ethos is grounded in mutual respect, diversity and inclusion. We honour different beliefs, cultures and value systems, creating a learning community where students feel a genuine sense of belonging.

Situated close to the heart of Sandton, our campus has served families for over 25 years. Thoughtfully designed classrooms, studios, laboratories and specialist centres overlook our sporting facilities and fields, providing an environment that supports both academic focus and balanced development.

We also take pride in our upscale learning environment.

Our classrooms, studios, laboratories, and centres are all part of our beautiful architecture and overlook the various sporting facilities and fields.

Future-focused Skills

We measure our students’ performance against credible international standards. Crawford International Preparatory Schools have been awarded authorisation as International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP).

The programme is internationally recognised and aims to develop students as global citizens.

The programme emphasises holistic development, guiding students to understand the experiences and challenges of others locally and globally through the exploration of real-world issues.

World-Class Education

Crawford International collaborates with the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) to bring world-class education to our schools.

The IB programmes are unique and encourage students to:

Think critically and challenge assumptions
Evolve as inquirers, both within and beyond the classroom
Collaborate with diverse communities in an increasingly interconnected world
Develop cultural awareness through additional languages and deeper understanding of different societies
Drive their own learning through sustained self-reflection
Recognising their strengths and intentionally developing areas for further growth
Access pathways that support entry into leading universities globally

The International Baccalaureate further enhances the rigorous, globally aligned academic programme at our preparatory schools, preparing students to excel at college and beyond.
