Curro Academy Savanna City has a primary school in De Deur, Vereeniging, that accommodates learners from Grade R to Grade 7. Our dedicated teachers, small class sizes and enhanced curriculum empower learners with skills and knowledge to grow into high-performing, self-confident individuals and to reach their personal, educational and eventual-workplace goals.

What happens in primary school

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.

Teaching takes place in English, and learners have Robotics and Natural Sciences as subjects.

As a Curro Academy school, our focussed subjects provide primary school learners with a solid foundation on which to excel in high school and, later on, make subject choices that would benefit their future dreams.

Our activities

We believe that participation in activities plays an important role in promoting health, discipline, self-confidence and community. Therefore, our focused activities are designed to help learners discover their inherent talents, or to broaden their exposure beyond their current reference framework. Some of our activities are aimed at boosting learners’ cognitive abilities, while others provide pure enjoyment.

We also offer Curro Arts Superhero (CAS) as part of the Curro Create initiative. CAS is an internal creative mentorship platform with a grading element, where learners are encouraged to discover, develop and display their inherent creative talents.
