Old Boys

A Lifelong Connection Begins with a Ridge Beginning

From your first step onto our campus, where you got to explore the koppie, to the friendships forged on the sports fields and in the music rooms, being a Ridge boy leaves an imprint that lasts a lifetime. The Ridge is not just where boys are known and grown; it is where the foundations for growth and impact are laid. 

Whether you were at The Ridge seventy years ago or five, you remain part of a brotherhood built on shared values, laughter and learning. The Old Boys of The Ridge School are a vital part of our ongoing story.

Celebrate your Ridge Legacy

We invite all Ridge Old Boys to:

  • Take pride in your Ridge roots and help celebrate our shared identity.
  • Join our LinkedIn network to connect with fellow Old Boys in business, mentorship and community life.
  • Share your stories, milestones, ventures, and adventures with us for spotlight features.
  • Update your contact details so we can stay in touch and invite you back.

Whether you are in Johannesburg or halfway across the world, your story matters – to us, and to the boys walking the same paths you once did.

Why Stay Connected?

The Ridge may be a preparatory school, but for those who have passed through it, it is so much more. Lifelong friendships, foundational values, and leadership journeys begin here.

Remaining connected means staying anchored to what shaped you, and it provides an opportunity to inspire and empower the next generation through your time, talent and treasure.
