We proudly offer the acclaimed Curro DigiEd education model for learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12, providing a dynamic and future-focused learning environment designed to empower every student.

Our Innovative DigiEd Learning Experience

At Curro New Road, we embrace a revolutionary approach to education that moves beyond traditional classroom settings. Our unique Curro DigiEd model puts your child at the centre of their learning journey:

• Personalised Pace: Learners engage with comprehensive digital textbooks, captivating videos, interactive simulations, and detailed tutorials. They can revisit content as many times as needed, ensuring deep understanding and mastery of concepts at their own pace.
• Dedicated Teacher Support: Our classrooms feature a thoughtful open-plan design, allowing teachers to seamlessly move between students. When questions arise, our dedicated educators come directly to your child, providing one-on-one explanations and support until they feel confident to progress.
• Fostering Independence: This approach cultivates self-directed learning, equipping students with essential skills to take charge of their education and, ultimately, their future. Teachers closely monitor individual progress, providing targeted guidance every step of the way.
• Intimate Learning Environment: We carefully limit the number of learners in each class to guarantee personalised attention and foster strong teacher-student relationships.

A Future-Ready Curriculum

Our commitment to excellence means providing an education that prepares learners for the demands of the modern world. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to give your child a competitive edge:

• STEM Excellence: We place a significant emphasis on Mathematics, Science, and Technology, subjects crucial for developing the analytical thinking and practical skills highly sought after in future workplaces.
• Global Perspectives: Beyond core subjects, we offer specialised learning in IT and French Conversational Language, broadening horizons and preparing students for a globally connected world.

Convenience for Parents, Preparation for Life

We understand the demands on modern families and have structured our school day to support both learners and parents:

• Extended Hours: Our longer school hours mirror a full day at work, effectively preparing learners for the professional world while accommodating the schedules of working parents.
• Quality Family Time: With early drop-off and late pick-up options, and a focus on minimal homework (primarily for revision), we ensure that evenings and weekends are dedicated to quality family time, not endless assignments.
• Dedicated Lunch Hour: Our schedule includes a full lunch hour, promoting healthy breaks and social interaction.

Empowering Saturday Support Programmes

To further bolster academic success, we offer optional Saturday support programmes, included in our school fees:

• Targeted Assistance: Extra classes are available for subjects where learners might need additional help, ensuring no one is left behind.
• Collaborative & Independent Study: Students can utilise this time and space to work on projects, engage in group studies, or access digital learning resources in a supportive environment.

Holistic Development: Beyond Academics

At Curro New Road, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals. Our balanced approach integrates academics with a vibrant array of sports and cultural activities:

• Building Character: Participation in activities like netball and chess promotes teamwork, collaboration, leadership, and self-confidence.
• Creative Expression: Through art and choir, learners develop essential skills to articulate their thoughts and express themselves creatively.
• Tailored Interests: Our diverse selection of activities is carefully chosen to resonate with the interests of learners in our community, ensuring every child finds an avenue to explore their passions.
