Tot Nut van het Algemeen

Tot Nut van het Algemeen

Tot Nut van het Algemeen ("trans." 'For the good of all'), commonly known as Tot Nut, was a Dutch-medium school in Cape Town from 1804 to 1870. The school played an important role in educating the Dutch-speaking children of the Cape Colony.

The precise location of the school has been a matter of some uncertainty. A recent study, however, has identified its original location as being in Strand Street, on the site of the present Cape Sun Hotel. In 1833 the school moved to a new building in Queen Victoria Street, a site which is today occupied by the annexe to the Cape High Court. The school remained on this site until its closure in 1870.
