Muir caters for pupils from Grades 4 to 12. It is one of the oldest schools in South Africa (SA) established in 1822. Muir College is one of the oldest boys english' speaking high school in South Africa, possibly tracing its origins back to 1822 when a Scottish educationalist, James Rose Innes MA (King's College, Aberdeen), established Uitenhage's first Free Government School in Cuyler Street on 12 October, with 60 pupils. Admission was open to all children, irrespective of gender, ethnicity or economic status, and by 1829 enrolment had increased to 167. Innes resigned in 1830 to take up the position of Professor of Mathematics at the South African College in Cape Town, and in 1839 became the first Superintendent-General for Education in the Cape. In 1865 the Uitenhage Proprietary School – a private, fee-paying school - opened in Uitenhage with the Rev Dr Robert Templeton MA (Glasgow) as its first headmaster. More information...
