Pembroke School is a co-educational, non-denominational, day and boarding school from Early Learning Centre to Year 12. Our School has a very proud tradition of educating young people in a dynamic, happy, and collaborative co-educational setting. We offer a wide range of subjects and co-curricular activities, and we celebrate a long history of excellence in many areas. Our teaching and support staff are very well qualified, enthusiastic, and dedicated to promoting students' attainments and pastoral care.
The School is committed wholeheartedly to the values of co-education. Our boys and girls learn in a balanced, respectful, and caring environment. They are challenged and stimulated by the opportunities offered by our broad-ranging academic and co-curricular program.
We strive for excellence in all we do. We seek to prepare each student to contribute to our changing global society with compassion and a love of learning, opening the door to a lifelong learning journey.
The School was established in January 1974 through the amalgamation of Girton Girls' School and King's College, a school for boys. The founding schools were small, neighboring, independent schools of quality and had a combined history dating back to 1915. Pembroke School is non-denominational and has a philosophy that is based on Christian principles.
The School motto, Ex Unitate Vires - Out of Unity, Strength - reflects our historical origins, with the uniting of the two schools, and our belief in the value of co-education. Pembroke School Aims:
