The Sun Valley Group of Schools is a public-private partnership designed to fund the provision of quality education for students in the deep south of Cape Town, South Africa.

Sun Valley Primary School is a public school founded in 1976. In 2003, a number of Sun Valley parents requested an Independent Co-educational High School which would operate with a similar ethos. Silvermine Academy High School was opened in January 2005 and presently provides boutique education to more than 100 students each year.
