History
D.N.C. started as a purely Afrikaans school called Afrikaans Hoër Durban Noord.
In 1996, due to government policy in diversifying previously Afrikaans-only schools, the school changed its name to Durban North College and adopted a dual-medium language policy, offering all subjects in both English and Afrikaans.
