Giving to Michaelhouse
Since 1896 Michaelhouse's legacy is one of developing the individuality and full potential of the boys entrusted to our care. Michaelhouse has flourished over the years because Old Boys, parents, past parents and friends have given so generously, for so long, to meet our needs. Gifts have made possible the bursaries that support boys of promise. Gifts have enabled the facilities to be expanded to meet the changing needs of new generations of boys at Michaelhouse.
We all have dreams. Michaelhouse is no exception. We dream of being able to offer the benefits of a Michaelhouse education to others, of expanding the facilities in the future in order to remain relevant for the next generation of boys at the school, and of maintaining our standards of excellence.
