St Stithians College is a Methodist church school situated on the border of Randburg and Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa, and follows a co-ordinate educational model within a village of schools consisting of a boys' college, a girls' college, a boys' preparatory school, a girls' preparatory school and a junior preparatory. As a Methodist school, it has ties to Kearsney College, Epworth High School, Penryn College and Kingswood College. Boarding is offered at the boys' college. The school is also a member of the G20 Schools Group. The Boys' and the Girls' Colleges are members of The Round Square Conference of Schools. The idea of setting up a Methodist school in Johannesburg came to Mr G.K. Tucker who wanted to base it on the pattern of his old school, Kingswood College in Grahamstown. The Methodist Church did not have the money so he turned to people who would be interested in financing it. He met two Cornishmen, both born in 1859, Albert Charles Collins and William Mountstephens, who were Methodists and promising new businessmen who had started to make a name for themselves in their new country.
