Gansbaai Academia is a no fees, multi-cultural school situated in Gansbaai. The school officially opened its doors on 22 February, 2010 on the insistence of the local community who reasoned that the other high schools in the area were too remote. It serves all communities and most of the school’s current complement of 725 learners originate from the three main population groups (black, coloured and white) in Gansbaai and Stanford and their surrounding areas.
