Giving to Michaelhouse
Since 1896, generosity has built this school. Every bursary, every building, every opportunity has begun with someone choosing to give.
GIVING
Why It Matters.
Michaelhouse has flourished because Old Boys, parents, past parents and friends have given so generously for so long. Gifts have made possible the bursaries that support boys of promise. Â
Gifts have enabled our facilities to expand to meet the changing needs of a new generation of boys. We dream of offering a Michaelhouse education to more of them, of building for the boys who follow, and of holding to our standards of excellence.Â
