The South African College Schools (colloquially often known as “SACS”) is a public English medium primary and high education institution situated in Newlands – part of the Southern Suburbs region of Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Founded in 1829, it claims to be the oldest continuously run school in South Africa, however, there are a number of older schools such as Simons Town High School (1815), Outeniqua High School in George, Muir College in Uitenhage (1822), and Durbanville High School (1827) in the northern suburbs of Cape Town.

SACS is one of four schools expressly endowed by Cecil John Rhodes to offer an annual Rhodes Scholarship to one of their graduating students.
