You get an excellent 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 allows our primary school learners to explore the learning material beyond just the textbook through research, experiments and assignments. Regular assessments and tests still 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.

As part of the Curro school group, we can tap into a wide network of teachers and support that can ultimately give your child an excellent education that stretches beyond the classroom.

What happens in Grade 1 to Grade 7

Our foundation phase starts by helping Grade 1 adapt to the more formal learning that starts in this year. In this phase, they learn the basic foundations on which all further learning is based – and even have chess as part of the programme:

• 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 can choose Afrikaans and isiZulu as additional language options. They also have Robotics as a subject throughout primary school.

As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby schools with preschool phases include Curro Aurora, Curro Rivonia, Curro Bryanston, Curro Waterfall, Building Blocks Pre-primary, Curro Douglasdale, Curro Fourways, Curro Midrand Sagewood, Magic Beings, Sharonlea Childcare and Pre-primary, and Curro Chartwell.

How big are the classes

We control the number of learners per class to ensure 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 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 activities promote team-awareness, collaboration, and self-confidence. Our extensive range of activities are tailored to the interests of our learners. Activities such as t-ball and basketball even give learners a boost in their education, because they help your child become confident in formulating their ideas and making their voice heard.
