Online Learning

An evolving digital education forms a critical skills set boys will use across the different areas of their lives. At Maritzburg College, we provide our learners with a comprehensive range of digital resources to encourage independent learning and enhance the scope of the curriculum.

Information, Communication and Technology

Digital proficiency equips boys for the changing way we live and work in modern society. Maritzburg College realises the value of information, communication and technology in our school and community.

Technology is infused into every area of the academic curriculum, cultural activities and sporting environment. Digital tools have the potential to deeply enrich learning and bolster efficiency. Maritzburg College embraces and encourages the use of technology as an integral part of our everyday reality – with technology infused throughout boys’ school years. This develops analytical skills, encourages collaboration, and endorses a sense of global citizenship.
