Rustenburg Educational College was founded in August 1992 as a Private Secondary School.  During 1994 the school was officially registered by the Department of Education together with a report of excellence.  This put the school in the unique position of being the only private owned English Language High School in the North West Province.

Since 1995 the school excelled in matric results with an annual percentage between 90 % and 100 % receiving accolades from the Department of Education for the past 17 years.

Mrs Nina Peens, founder and sole owner of the school, was the winner of the Businesswoman of the Year Contest: Entrepreneur Division, in 1996.  In recognition of this she was awarded a trophy by the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce.

Rustenburg Educational College, well established by its reputation for academic excellence, remains the leading Private School in the North West Province. We are proud of our achievements, and are now able to offer superb hostel facilities to approved students.

The School is situated in the tranquil country surroundings of the Olifantsnek Dam just nine (9) kilometres from the Waterfall Mall.  Twenty five (25) learners per classroom ensure unique individual attention and professional assistance.
