Melissa du Plooy of Group Editors recently spent some time at this unique, rural school set in the beautiful countryside between George and Great Brak River.
Speaking to former learners, she quickly understood why Van der Hoven has remained such a special place over many generations.
She also sat down with headmaster Francois de Swart to talk about the future of the school, their plans for continued growth and the developments that will carry Van der Hoven's proud legacy into the next generation and beyound.
Join us as we celebrate 125 years of history, honour the people who built this remarkable school and look ahead to an exciting future.
