The Diocesan School for Girls or DSG is a private boarding school for girls, situated in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is one of the most expensive private girls' schools in South Africa.[1]

History

DSG is an Anglican school that was founded in 1874 by the Rt Revd Nathaniel Merriman, Bishop of Grahamstown for the Diocese of Grahamstown. The school is located in Worcester St, at the bottom of the West Hill of Grahamstown and is adjacent to St. Andrew's College and Rhodes University. Formerly, the girls were allowed little or no contact at all with their brother school, St. Andrew's College. This was changed in the early eighties as the pupils of both schools found themselves being integrated on an educational level. Ntombe Vabaza, appointed head girl in 2007, was the school's first black head girl.{{cn|date=October 2017}}

Associated schools

DSG shares close ties with other schools in Grahamstown: St. Andrew's College, a high school for boys and St. Andrew's Preparatory School, a co-educational primary school. Most girls enter the school in grade 4, coming from St. Andrew's Preparatory School. There are about 120 girls from grade 4 to grade 7 (the primary school phase) and 400 from grade 8 to grade 12 (the high school phase.) From grade 10 all the academic classes are shared with St. Andrew's College and are thus co-instructional. The DR Wynne Music School,[2] and a design and technology centre are shared with St. Andrew's College.

Academics

It is one of the top schools writing the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams.
