History[]

This is the Pretoria Campus of the Crawford Schools. It was founded as Carmel school in the Lukasrand suburb of Pretoria, to educate the large local Jewish community. After the school was acquired by Graeme Crawford it became Crawford College Pretoria, with new buildings being built for the College and the Preparatory School taking over the old Carmel facilities.[2][failed verification]

In 2005 the buildings were extended and revamped. A new media center; art studio; technology and design studio; and Grade 8 and 9 drama classroom was built.

The school has numerous sporting facilities including: basketball courts with tennis nets in the middle, a large field, a cricket field, a swimming pool and the Harlequins Field adjacent to the campus.
