An Innovative Approach to Learning: Project-Based Excellence

Our commitment to providing an excellent education goes hand-in-hand with an innovative teaching philosophy. At Curro Pretoria, our approach to the national CAPS curriculum is rooted in engaging project-based learning and transformative self-discovery. We encourage our high school students to delve deeper into learning material, venturing far beyond the confines of a textbook through exciting research projects, hands-on experiments, and stimulating assignments.

While preparing students rigorously for the NSC exams in Grade 12, we also prioritise the development of crucial intellectual abilities. Regular assessments and tests are part of our structure, but it’s paramount that students can apply their knowledge, making the material relevant and real to them. This empowers learners to take initiative, forge connections between different areas of knowledge, and significantly enhance their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills – essential competencies for a rapidly evolving world.

The Senior Phase Journey: Guidance and Real-World Application

The senior phase at Curro Pretoria is thoughtfully designed to support and guide students through their crucial high school years. We begin by helping Grade 8 learners smoothly transition and comfortably adapt to the increased academic rigour and workload of high school. Our limited class sizes remain a cornerstone of this support, ensuring that every student receives the individual attention precisely where it's needed most.

As part of the Curro family, our students benefit from expert guidance when making pivotal elective subject choices at the end of Grade 9. From Grade 10 onwards, while meticulously preparing students for the Grade 12 NSC examinations, our focus extends beyond mere assessments. We integrate real-life situations and practical applications into our lessons, helping students to grasp complex concepts more profoundly and empowering them with the knowledge and skills to become true leaders of the future.

English is the language of instruction, and students have the enriching opportunity to choose:

• Afrikaans as an additional language option.
• Sepedi as an additional language option.
• Tourism as a subject in Grade 12.

Expanding Horizons: Personalised Digital Elective Subjects

Lessons are conveniently scheduled during the school day, complemented by supervised self-directed sessions after school hours.

Students pursuing these digital electives will still write the NSC examination at the end of Grade 12, ensuring their academic progression. We invite you to explore which subjects are available and gain more insights into this flexible and enriching learning pathway.
