The original ISCT campus! Home to Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6) and High School (Years 7 – 12/13). Built in the 1920’s, many of Woodland Heights’ beautiful features – including the terraced gardens – can still be seen around the building.

Held in trust by the Cape Town Child Welfare Society, Struben House has been home to our Early Years (Nursery, Reception) and Key Stage 1 learners (Years 1–2) since 2016.

Purpose-built classrooms spark curiosity and joy, while the heart of the campus—a magnificent 500-year-old yellowwood tree—stands proudly in the garden, inspiring future generations.
