Curro Rivonia has a primary school in Sandton that accommodates learners from Grade R to Grade 7. Our excellent Curro education to gives your child an all-round education that balances academics with sports and cultural activities. Teaching takes place in English, we limit our class sizes to make sure learners get personal attention, and they benefit from having Robotics as subjects. We also have aftercare and a school transport service, with several value-added programmes that give learners a boost inside and outside the classroom.

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, which ultimately prepares learners to write the IEB exams in high school.

As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby preschools in the group whose children can easily progress to us include Curro Bryanston, The King’s School Linbro Park, Curro Douglasdale, Curro Fourways, Curro Waterfall, Sharonlea Childcare and Pre-primary, Magic Beings, Curro Aurora, Curro Chartwell and Curro Midrand San Ridge – all within a 20-minute drive.

What happens in Grade R to Grade 7

Our foundation phase starts by helping Grade R learners get ready for the formal learning that starts in Grade 1. In this phase, they learn the basic foundations on which all further learning is based:

• Language (read, spell, understand, speak, listen)
• Mathematics (count, understand numbers, addition, subtraction and multiplication)
• Life skills (physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, creativity)

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.

How big are the classes

We limit the number of learners per class to no more than 23 to 25, 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.

Academic support and fun days

As part of the Curro school group, we believe that learning stretches to beyond just the classroom. That is why we offer a few value-added programmes that brings fun into school and supports their academics. These include the following:

• Community-building events
• Extra lessons and parent-in-school days
• Integrated sports in the school day

As a primary school in Sandton, we are committed to giving learners in our community access to a high-quality education. Scroll through the rest of our website to discover everything we have to offer. Your child will love being part of our family!
