Queen's College is a public school in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is one of the oldest boarding schools in the Eastern Cape. Queen's College celebrated its sesquicentennial (150) anniversary in 2008. Queen's College - the name elicits an almost mystical reverence from generations of past students - perhaps to the bewilderment of those who cannot relate to the experience of having been a 'Queenian'.

  • Queen's College is a public school in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is one of the oldest boarding schools in the Eastern Cape. Queen's College celebrated its sesquicentennial (150) anniversary in 2008. Queen's College - the name elicits an almost mystical reverence from generations of past students - perhaps to the bewilderment of those who cannot relate to the experience of having been a 'Queenian'. What is it about this great school that inspires the continued loyalty and passionate allegiance of so many who have passed through its gates? Why is the Queen's College Old Boys' Association one of the largest and most dynamic organisations of its kind in Africa? The answers are to be found in the picturesque Eastern Cape town of Queenstown. It was here, beneath the sheltering crags that crest the surrounding mountains, that the first group of pupils clustered around their teacher in 1858. There was little to indicate to the participants in this humble exercise in education, in a rustic frontier town, that their actions constituted the birth of what would become one of the leading schools in Africa.
