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.

Our Grade R and Grade 1 learners also benefit from a reading-readiness programme by Mind Moves at no additional cost. This is an online programme that focuses on providing your child with the required pre-reading skills that help them learn well in school.

As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Should your family locate to Klerksdorp from Pretoria, Johannesburg, Roodepoort, or any other city, we help you through the transfer or enrolment process so that your child can quickly feel at home with us. We also have a boarding school that offers your child a safe, caring home away from home. Contact us for more information!

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 control the number of learners per class to be no more than 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.

We use tablets in class

Technology has become a part of our daily lives and our learners are comfortable around it. By using technology in class, we meet learners where they are and give them a head start in the technology they will use in their eventual workplace. This is why learners from Grade 5 may choose to view textbooks on tablets or in hard copy.

Activities your child can enjoy

One part of the excellent Curro education, is that academics are balanced with sports and cultural activities. Participation in activities promote team-awareness, collaboration, and self-confidence. Our wide variety of activities, such as environmental awareness, chess, and cycling, are tailored to the interests of learners in our area. Your child is sure to find something that will pique their interest.
