HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO ATTEND ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL

Roosevelt High School is a public school in Randburg, Johannesburg. However, the fees are still quite high. This school is classified as quintile five, which means it is fee-paying and the fees are set by the school as state funding alone does not cover its costs.

As per the school’s official website, the fees for 2026 are not easily accessible. However, there were fees for 2023 listed.

• Grade 8: R41 000
• Grade 9 to grade 12: R38 000 per year

R4000 is payable when the child is accepted into the school. The school offers a variety of different sports including soccer, netball, squash, softball, rugby, archery and more.

Take a look at how much it costs to attend South Africa’s most expensive school here.

THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE SCHOOL

The school has come under scrutiny after the events that took place at the school’s recent Matric Dance. Learners reportedly arrived under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and had threatened staff with firearms during their procession. There was also reckless driving into the venue. On top of that, there were intoxicated learners, who became violently ill and vomited in the venue.

Roosevelt High School principal Cristèl Venter was praised for her no-nonsense approach in handling the events that took place at the Matric Dance.
