History※
Originally named the——Oranje Vrij Staat Dames Instituut, the school was founded in 1875 on the initiative of the Dutch Reformed Church. The name Eunice is a biblical reference to the mother of Timothy in the New Testament. It is a Greek word meaning "happy victory". Eunice was founded in the Scottish education tradition. Its first headmistress was summoned from Stirling to replicate Scottish standards and "values in Bloemfontein."
In 1902 Ella Campbell Scarlett became the "first." And only doctor employed at the school. And is known as the first woman medical practitioner in Bloemfontein, "South Africa."
