The Curro DigiEd Learning Approach

Curro DigiEd is designed for modern learners. It combines textbooks with digital resources such as videos, simulations and tutorials. Learners can revisit these resources as often as needed, helping them understand the work more clearly and build confidence.

Teachers guide, support and mentor learners throughout the school day. Instead of only teaching from the front of the class, teachers spend time with individuals and small groups, helping learners where they need support most.

Personalised Support in Small Classes

Class sizes at Curro Barlow Park High School are limited to a maximum of 30 learners. This helps teachers provide meaningful support and gives learners more opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance.

The slightly open-plan classroom layout allows teachers to move easily between learners. This creates a more flexible learning space where support can be given quickly and directly.

Building Independent Learners

The Curro DigiEd model encourages learners to take ownership of their education. Learners work through content, use digital resources, ask questions and check their understanding before moving forward.

This approach helps develop important skills such as:

  • Independent learning
  • Accountability and responsibility
  • Time management
  • Critical thinking
  • Problem-solving
  • Confidence with digital learning tools

Preparing for Future Academic Success

Although the learning model is modern and digitally supported, regular assessments and tests remain an important part of the academic programme. Learners are guided to understand their work deeply and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

This foundation prepares learners for future high school phases and the National Senior Certificate examinations in Grade 12.

A School Day Designed for Modern Families

Curro Barlow Park High School follows longer school hours that are designed to reflect a full working day. This structure supports working parents while helping learners build strong routines and time-management skills.

Most classwork, revision and academic tasks are completed during the school day. This means learners receive little to no homework, except when revision is needed. The aim is to keep home time available for family, rest and personal interests.

Robotics and Digital Learning

Robotics is offered as a subject at Curro Barlow Park High School. This helps learners develop logical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and confidence with technology.

Digital learning resources are also part of the school’s daily academic approach, helping learners become comfortable with the tools and habits needed for future study and work.

Saturday Support Programmes

Optional Saturday support programmes are included in the school fees. These sessions give learners extra academic support in subjects they find challenging.

Learners may also use this time for group study, project work and access to digital learning resources in a supported environment.
