Curro Brackenfell has a new high school in Sonkring, Brackenfell that provides the excellent Curro education to learners in Grade 7 and Grade 8 (with higher grades phasing in annually). Our class sizes are limited to no more than 25, so that your child can get personal attention, and we have specialised subjects, such as Robotics. While teaching takes place in English, we are an IEB school, and we also have a school transport option.

Our primary school learners automatically progress to our high school, which means that your child stays near your home and remain with their friends.

You get the excellent Curro education

As an IEB school, our approach to teaching the national CAPS curriculum is based on project-based learning and self-discovery. This approach allows our high school learners to explore the learning material beyond just the textbook through research, experiments and assignments, while preparing them for their final exams in Grade 12. Regular assessments and tests take place, but it’s important to us that learners can use their intellectual abilities to make the material real to them in some way. This teaches learners to take initiative and make connections between pieces of knowledge – which further develops critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby primary schools whose learners could easily progress to us include Curro Durbanville with Curro Century City and a bit further away.

What happens in our high school

Our senior phase starts by helping Grade 7 and Grade 8 learners grow accustomed to the greater workload of higher intensity in high school. We limit the number of learners in each class to ensure that they get individual attention in exactly the places they need. Our learners will also receive guidance when choosing their elective subjects at the end of Grade 9 in 2025.

We focus on more than just assessments, by applying the work to real-life situations. This helps learners to understand the work much better, and further empowers them with knowledge and skills to become the leaders of the future. Teaching takes place in English and Afrikaans, and learners can choose Afrikaans or English as additional language options.

A wider subject choice

Later in high school, our learners will be able to choose elective subjects beyond what is offered at our school. These subjects take place digitally and are presented live by Curro teachers. Lessons are scheduled during the school day, with supervised self-directed sessions after hours. These subjects can be seen as an extension of the quality Curro education your child gets with us, and they still write the IEB exam at the end of Grade 12.
