Epworth School is a private Christian School with a Methodist ethos, located on a 15 hectares (37 acres) campus in Scottsville in Pietermaritzburg in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.

Epworth is an independent school (and a member of the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa) catering for boys and girls in Grades RRR to 7 and girls from Grades 8 to 12.

In 1898 the Natal Witness carried an advertisement heralding the opening of a new school in "healthy and commodious premises".

This had been requested by the Revd G W Rogers and Mr Justice Mason in a letter to Miss Emily Lowe and the Misses Emma and Charlotte Mason, who were staying together in London.

This request was seconded by a number of Methodist laymen and ministers, the intention being that once the school was established the Wesleyan Church would take it over.
