An Innovative Approach to Learning: Beyond the Textbook

Our commitment to providing an excellent education is evident in our progressive teaching methodology. While firmly rooted in the national CAPS curriculum, our approach transcends traditional textbook learning, bringing subjects to life through dynamic project-based learning and exhilarating self-discovery.

This innovative method empowers our primary school learners to explore learning material in depth through engaging research, hands-on experiments, and creative assignments. While regular assessments and tests ensure academic rigour, our priority is to cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling learners to apply their intellectual abilities to real-world scenarios. This empowers them to take initiative, make meaningful connections between diverse pieces of knowledge, and gain invaluable skills for their future careers and aspirations.

Building Foundations: The Foundation Phase (Grade R to Grade 1)

Our Foundation Phase is meticulously designed to prepare Grade R learners for the exciting formal learning adventure that begins in Grade 1. In this crucial phase, we lay the essential building blocks for all future academic success, fostering a joyful environment of discovery and growth:

• Language: Developing comprehensive skills in reading, spelling, understanding, speaking, and listening.
• Mathematics: Sparking curiosity in numbers, building foundational understanding of counting, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• Life Skills: Nurturing physical education, providing real-life experiences, fostering problem-solving abilities, and encouraging creative expression.

Deepening Understanding: The Intermediate Phase

As learners progress into the Intermediate Phase, the curriculum evolves to embrace more abstract concepts. Our project-based learning approach becomes even more pivotal here, encouraging learners to delve deeper into subjects through intensive research, complex assignments, and intricate experiments, extending their understanding far beyond the confines of a textbook.

Multilingualism and Future-Focused Skills

Teaching at Curro Pretoria is conducted in English, providing a strong linguistic foundation. To foster broader cultural understanding and communication skills, learners have the enriching option to choose Afrikaans and Sepedi as additional languages. Furthermore, our forward-thinking curriculum includes Robotics as a dedicated subject, equipping learners with essential STEM skills for the digital age.
