Although participation in all aspects of school life is fundamental, academics remains Northwood’s primary focus, so that outstanding academic results are consistently achieved. As one of South Africa’s top traditional boys’ schools, Northwood has built on the firm foundations established by its founder schools, Northlands and Beachwood, to produce a proud reputation of academic, cultural and sporting achievements for over sixty years.
Squires to Knights
In the Age of Chivalry, Squires became Knights by learning the Code of Chivalry which promoted honour, honesty and respect for God, courage, generosity, compassion, courtesy, loyalty and self-control. Knights also acted as mentors to Squires. In the same way, Squires (grades 8-11) at Northwood are guided with the help of the school, parents and guardians and Knights (grade 12) to take on these virtues so they leave Northwood as men, who go into the world and make a difference. When Beachwood and Northlands merged in 1990 to form Northwood it was possible to merge the school badges and retain both mottos to echo this. "Acquit Ye like Men” (Behave like Men) and "Quisque Sibi Verus” (Be True to Yourself) remind Northwood learners to become men who are true to themselves, while at the same time upholding the values of chivalry.
