Hilton College is a boys-only, full-boarding secondary school located in Hilton (Durban), South Africa. The school offers dual academic pathways: the South African IEB (National Senior Certificate) and an international British pathway (Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge/Pearson Edexcel A Levels), including a two‑year A‑Level option for senior pupils; the site describes the A‑Level pathway as Africa's only full‑boarding school offering that two‑year British qualification. Hilton serves pupils through the secondary grades (references to Grades 8–12 are published) with English as the language of instruction; other languages taught include Afrikaans, French, isiZulu and German (the latter as a second‑additional language or via a partner). Notable facilities cited on the school website include a 1,600‑hectare estate incorporating a proclaimed 650‑hectare nature reserve, a performance and wellness centre, and a dedicated music centre. The school also highlights an elective programme for younger secondary grades and an emphasis on outdoor education that uses the estate and reserve as a learning resource.
