Felixton College
History
The idea began as late as 1995 by parents of the neighbouring towns of Empangeni and Richards Bay as there was a high demand for a private school in the area. The school would receive its first pupils in January of 1996. The school would have few grades available in the beginning, however it would grow in the following years and by the end of the 1990s, Felixton College had grown to incorporate a high school, with their first Grade 12s matriculating in 2000.
The school continued to grow structurally as more classrooms were added. In 2006, the school buried a time capsule in front of the school flag poles in celebration of the college's 10th anniversary. The capsule is due to be opened in 2026 on the event of the school's 30th anniversary.
In 2020, the college, like many, had to adapt to technology as the Covid-19 Pandemic disrupted ordinary school activity. Classes were held online for all grade except for those in Grade 12 or matric. This would continue until 2021 where a routine of semi-online school was practiced. Some grades would attend on certain days of the week and some on others, this would limit the amount of student from different grades from interacting with each other. By mid-2022, most lockdown restriction were lifted and pre-pandemic routine began to continue.
