You get the excellent Curro education

We are committed to providing learners with an excellent education. That is why our approach encourages learners to take charge of their own learning by studying textbooks accompanied by videos, simulations, and tutorials as many times as they need to understand what they’re learning. When they have questions, the teacher comes to them and spends individual time until they feel ready to continue.

As part of the excellent Curro education, we have a great focus on Mathematics and Science. The knowledge and tangible skills taught by these subjects teaches them to take charge of their lives, and to make connections between pieces of knowledge – which further develops critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Learners in our primary school automatically progress to our high school phase, unless they apply elsewhere. Also, as part of the Curro school group, your child also gets preference when applying to any schools in the group. Nearby high schools with the NSC exams include Meridian Cosmo City and Curro Academy Wilgeheuwel.

What happens in Grade 8 to Grade 12

Our senior phase starts by helping Grade 8 learners grow accustomed to the Curro education approach. We limit the number of learners in each class to ensure that they get individual attention and our learners receive guidance when choosing their elective subjects at the end of Grade 9. From Grade 10, we prepare learners for their final exams in Grade 12. But, 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 learners can choose Afrikaans and isiZulu as additional language options. They also have Robotics as a subject until Grade 12.

How big are our 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.

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 focused variety of activities, such as dance and soccer, are tailored to the interests of learners in our area. Your child is sure to find something that will pique their interest.
