Innovative Learning: Beyond the Textbook

At Curro Heuwelkruin, our commitment to providing a quality education is at the heart of everything we do. Our innovative approach to teaching the national CAPS curriculum is built upon the principles of project-based learning and self-discovery. This dynamic methodology empowers our high school learners to delve into learning material far beyond the confines of a textbook, engaging in stimulating research, hands-on experiments, and challenging assignments. This not only cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also thoroughly prepares them for the demanding IEB examinations in Grade 12. We proudly offer instruction in both English and Afrikaans, complemented by a range of specialised elective subjects designed to ignite passions, including Dramatic Arts and Agricultural Sciences.

The Curro College: Equipping for Future Success

Curro's unwavering dedication to quality education extends seamlessly to the private college situated on our campus. The NCV programmes are meticulously designed to equip students with workplace-ready skills and knowledge, providing a direct pathway to immediate employment should they choose not to pursue further tertiary studies. To ensure optimal learning and individualised mentorship, class sizes at the college are also limited, allowing lecturers to provide personal attention to each student. Please note: We are currently not open for enrolments to our NCV programmes.

Expand Horizons with Digital Electives

Our high school learners have the exciting opportunity to choose elective subjects that extend beyond our on-campus offerings.

After hours, learners benefit from supervised self-directed sessions, fostering independence and deeper engagement. These digital electives serve as a powerful extension of the excellent Curro education your child receives with us, culminating in the same rigorous IEB exam at the end of Grade 12. Please note that this enriching option is not available to students enrolled in NCV courses at the private college on our campus, as their subjects and programme offerings are distinct.
