One is frequently asked what makes a school different from others. Chelsea I do believe has established itself as a leading school in Durban North because of the experienced and stable staff we have been able to attract.

HISTORY

Chelsea is a school built on family and tradition which is felt as soon as one enters our beautiful grounds. We offer a broad variety of sporting and cultural activities together with a commitment to academic excellence
 
The first entry in our log book is dated 25 January 1932 and we have over the last 76 years built our reputation as not only being the oldest school in Durban North but a leading school in our community
 
In 1999 Chelsea drive Senior Primary School as it was then known merged with Northway Junior Primary School to become Chelsea Preparatory School. In the ensuing ten years our school flourished on its two campuses which are some 200 metres apart. This merge has enabled us to meet the challenges of the 21st century whilst retaining the small school feel on each campus.
 
Our forward looking and strong management has seen each campus develop so as to provide the very best facilities possible for our pupils. The Northway Campus has especially seen major change as additional classrooms, new media centre, computer room and offices have been built. Whilst the Chelsea Campus has seen the building of a sports hall, new offices and improved parking facilities. All of these changes reflecting our desire to continue to be of service to the Durban North Community.
