Thomas More College is an independent, co-educational day school located in Kloof, near Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Thomas More College is a Christian-based school running classes from Grade 0 to Grade 12. Through a balanced programme of academic, cultural and sporting activities as well as a measure of fun, the school aims to develop Christian love and self-esteem in children and a moral code as espoused in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, ensuring that they are able to make a meaningful contribution to an ever-changing society. Focus is given to developing the whole child and equipping each one with leadership and life skills. Thomas More College can trace its origins to modest beginnings when on 1 February 1962 it opened its doors to only 55 pupils, all boys. Co-education was not to come for another 14 years. The founder and headmaster was Robin Savory, who had long had a dream of starting a Catholic School run by Catholic laity. In this he had the support of Archbishop Denis Hurley. So, from the start the school had a strong religious element, strengthened in later years with a broader Christian base.
