You get the excellent Curro education
We are committed to providing learners with an excellent education. That is why our approach to teaching the national CAPS curriculum is based on project-based learning and self-discovery. This approach helps learners use their intellectual abilities to explore the learning material in a manner that makes it real to them somehow. This happens through research, experiments and assignments along with regular teaching methods.
What happens in Grade 2 to Grade 7
In this phase, the basic foundations on which all further learning is based is affirmed and learners are gradually prepared for the more abstract work in intermediate phase:
In the intermediate phase, the work becomes less tangible or real, and more abstract. To do this, learners start with project-based learning, which means they do research, assignments, and experiments to explore the material outside just the textbook.
Teaching takes place in English, and learners can choose Afrikaans and isiZulu as additional language options. They also benefit from extra lessons in Mathematics, isiZulu and Afrikaans at no additional cost.
As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Such nearby schools that also have preschool phases include Curro Rivonia and Curro Oakdene.
How big are the classes
We control the number of learners per class to be no more than 35, so that our teachers have the time and space to give personal attention to each learner, in exactly the places that they need. This is just one of the ways that we create an environment where your child will enjoy what they learn and love coming to school.
