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 high school learners to explore the learning material beyond just the textbook through research, experiments and assignments, while preparing them for their final exams in Grade 12.
This teaches learners to take initiative and make connections between pieces of knowledge – which further develops critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. In addition, we have isiZulu as an additional language option and a variety of sports and cultural activities.
Our senior phase starts by helping Grade 8 learners grow accustomed to the greater workload of higher intensity in high school. We limit the number of learners in each class to ensure that they get individual attention in exactly the places they need. Our learners also receive guidance when choosing their elective subjects at the end of Grade 9. From Grade 10, we prepare learners for their final exams but However, we focus on more than just assessments. By applying the work to real-life situations, learners understand the work much better, and further empowers them with knowledge and skills to become the leaders of the future.
As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group – and our primary school children automatically progress to this phase. Visit this page on our website to find other nearby high schools in the group.
Our learners can choose elective subjects beyond what is offered at our school. These subjects take place digitally and are presented live by Curro teachers. Lessons are scheduled during the school day, with supervised self-directed sessions after hours. These subjects can be seen as an extension of the excellent Curro education your child gets with us, and they still write all regular examinations.
