- The School has been closely associated with the growth of the German community in the district, which has its roots among the first settlers who came to Natal in 1848. The German settlers around Noodsberg Road founded the first church and school at Kirchdorf in 1881. Following then, the Wartburg Church and School came into existence in 1892. In 1931, the two congregations, after many difficult negotiations, decided to have a combined school, Wartburg Kirchdorf Government School, which would serve the community better than two separate schools. This school was situated in High Street, Wartburg. As more and more farmers began to settle in the area, the new Wartburg Kirchdorf School grew steadily and was given a tremendous boost during the 1960s when a sugar mill was built in the district. This brought many more people to the area and the Wartburg Kirchdorf School had grown from strength to strength ever since. With the expansion of the number of learners, a separate site for the High School was found in Fountainhill Road and the Primary and High Schools separated in 1974. The Wartburg Kirchdorf School is committed to creating a happy, Christian-based environment wherein all learners can, through constructive interaction with motivated facilitators, achieve their full individual academic, cultural and sporting potential, thereby enabling them to achieve self-reliance and responsible citizenship. Since 1881 the Schools in Wartburg were dedicated to the quality of education of the children from the district. This drive for quality led representatives from the Wartburg Kirchdorf Schools (both Primary and High) to engage in discussions that resulted in the promotion of the amalgamation of the two campuses into one facility at the “High School” premises in 1997. The actual process of moving the Primary School was done very efficiently by a concentrated community effort. Children at the old school were sent home for four days, from Tuesday to Friday and by Monday the job was done, with a few minor tasks outstanding. Some minor building changes were effected. Mr. Göhring retired as the last principal of the Wartburg Kirchdorf Primary School in 1997. In 2000 plans were put forward to establish a Pre-Primary at the School and after some slight modifications, the Pre-Primary was opened for business in January 2001. This School has undergone many changes over the years and has grown from its very humble beginnings, into a school with a proud reputation for consistent academic excellence, steadfast and free despite all odds. In this phase, our pupils are exposed to multiple learning opportunities through facilitated play and discovery to set the foundation for their future development. This phase develops every child academically, spiritually, culturally, and on the sports field. Learning is interactive, innovative, and designed to stimulate young minds. This phase produces self-reliant and responsible young adults who have been exposed to exceptional academic standards. Our educators assist learners to reach their full potential. View full school
- Wartburg College is dedicated to challenging and nurturing students for leadership and service lives as a sincere expression of their faith and learning. Wartburg College is a liberal arts college of the Lutheran Church (ELCA). You do not have to be Lutheran, or even Christian, to appreciate how a Wartburg education will help you discover meaning and purpose for your life. Many colleges work from a common creed or statement of belief where faith is imposed. Other colleges keep faith out of community life entirely. At Wartburg College, we use the Lutheran approach to education, which builds community around a lively and inclusive conversation of faith and learning. Martin Luther, who sparked the Reformation in 1517, was both a pastor and a university professor. He wrestled with the more significant questions of life and how faith could genuinely change the world around us. Because of our Lutheran theological perspective, we want you to also wrestle with these big questions as you work through your four years at Wartburg. We invite and encourage conversations with people of diverse backgrounds and with different spiritual perspectives. In turn, you will learn more about your own beliefs and values. Wartburg College helps students discover and claim their callings—connecting their learning with faith and values, their understanding of themselves and their gifts, their perspective on life and the future, and the opportunities for participating in church, community, and the larger society in purposeful and meaningful ways. Wartburg offers more than 50 academic majors in the liberal arts and professional areas such as business administration, education, music, journalism, and communication. Our graduates find satisfying jobs and are admitted to top graduate and professional schools. Students may also participate in various interdisciplinary minors and programs that enrich the academic experience and prepare graduates for success. At Wartburg, you will take a journey of discovery, embrace your passions, and unlock your potential to realize your purpose in life. The Pathways Center provides comprehensive advising services, and your faculty adviser will also help you on your path. Wartburg is selective in granting admission to graduates from accredited high schools and colleges. And that's a good thing. You want a college that recruits top students like you. They'll be your friends, neighbors, and classmates. Knowing what you are going to study is excellent. But so is exploring what is offered here that might excite you. You can get help from your advisor and the Pathways Center — you can even create your own interdisciplinary major or minor to combine disciplines to enrich your experiences even more. You don't need a big city for significant experiences. Our on-campus living, dining halls, and a myriad of activities to nurture your mind, body, and soul are all within reach. Check out things you could be doing while getting an excellent education. Wartburg's living-learning environment is designed to help take a journey of discovery, embrace your passions, and unlock your potential to realize your purpose. The best way to decide if Wartburg is the right place for you would be to visit our campus. Meet our friendly students. Grab a cool cookie at the Den. Check out a class. See a game or go to a concert. Visit with a professor. Learn what makes Wartburg "worth it." Wartburg students can gain practical, hands-on experience and earn a little extra cash when they work on campus. Sample positions include marketing photographer, web developer, social media manager, baker, technical theatre staff, information desk receptionist, Sir Victor (mascot), ITS technical support, lifeguard, Resident Assistant, and more. The liberal arts education you will receive at Wartburg allows you to gain the skills required from your chosen field of study and the critical thinking skills required to explore the ethics of decision-making and community engagement, effective communication, cultural competence, and collaboration. Small colleges have many significant advantages. The biggest advantage is personal access to your professors. You will meet your professors in small classes and on-campus activities. Plus, your faculty advisor is a Wartburg professor. Spend a May Term or summer at Wartburg West in Denver, Colorado. Volunteer for a service trip to an inner-city or a rural area struck by a natural disaster. Study abroad. Join a club or two. Or three, if it fits you. Our professors are not only experts in their fields; they have other enriching interests: brewing beer, organic farming, and foster parenting, to name a few. They live what they love and want to help students lead similarly rich lives. Serve your community as a doctor. Serve as an innovator in your field. Serve the world as an advocate for those without hope. Wherever you are headed, Wartburg will be with you to help you realize your purpose. Wartburg College is named after one of Europe's best-known landmarks, the Wartburg Castle. The Wartburg Castle is a fortress built in 1067 overlooking Eisenach, Germany. During the stormy days of the 16th-century Reformation, the castle provided a refuge for Martin Luther, whose work led to the Lutheran church's formation. View full university
