History
editThe 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 it's first pupils in January of 1996. The school would have few grades available in the beginning, however it would group in the years that follow. 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 it's 25th Anniversary in 2021.
