History

St. Michael's Academy for Young Gentlemen was founded in Pietermaritzburg in 1896 by James Cameron Todd, an Anglican canon. The school was established as a private venture with fifteen boys in two small houses in Loop Street.

James Cameron Todd had a clear idea of what he wanted the school to be. He wrote: "A man's tone, moral and spiritual, as well as intellectual, is largely determined for life by his school."

Within a few years, Michaelhouse became the Diocesan College of Natal, governed by a permanent trust deed and administered by a board of governors. A board of governors is usually the governing board of a public entity. ...

In 1901 the school relocated to Balgowan, when some 77 boys took up residence in the buildings which remain the core to the school to this day. Its name was later changed to Michaelhouse. The school adopted the 9th century chorale Stars of the Morning as its official school hymn. 1901 (MCMI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

The Chapel

The chapel is an important a focal point in the school's architecture and ethos. The original chapel was built running from North to South with the apse at the North end.

In the 1940s, however, it became apparent that the chapel was no longer big enough to fit the entire school in for a service. Thus a large architectural work was undertaken to extend the chapel from its existing site towards the East. Because of World War II, the chapel was only finished in the 1950s.
