Felixton College is a small school based 15 minutes outside of Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in the village of Felixton. It caters from junior school to high school (grades RRRR –R, and 1–12). The Felixton College is a member of the Independent Examinations Board (IEB), a South African independent assessment agency which offers examinations for various client schools. The school offers numerous sports and after-school activities. Alongside extensive playing fields, the school have a swimming pool, tennis and squash courts and astro turf, and a golf course provided by the Felixton Country Club. The College has recently built new school buildings replacing the previous prefabricated buildings. Whilst doing so Felixton College installed solar panels, ramps for people in wheelchairs and a new parking lot.
The idea began as late as 1995 by parents of the neighbouring towns of Empangeni and Richards Bay as there was a high demand for a private school in the area. The school would receive its first pupils in January of 1996. The school would have few grades available in the beginning, however it would grow in the following years and by the end of the 1990s, Felixton College had grown to incorporate a high school, with their first Grade 12s matriculating in 2000.
The school celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2021.
