An Engaging & Progressive Curriculum

At Curro Riverside, we believe in an education that challenges and inspires. Our thoughtfully designed, enhanced curriculum guides learners through a stimulating academic journey, helping them adapt to a greater workload and higher intensity of learning. We pride ourselves on offering an affordable, yet premium, educational experience that places significant emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and individual innovation.

In our supportive, limited class sizes, learners benefit from personalised attention, allowing them to delve deeper into subjects and develop crucial 21st-century competencies across all disciplines, including:

• Advanced Science and Technology applications
• Economic and Management Sciences
• Business Studies

We also provide comprehensive guidance to learners when selecting their elective subjects at the end of Grade 9, ensuring choices align with their interests and future goals. Furthermore, we proudly offer Afrikaans and isiZulu as additional language options, enriching our learners' linguistic and cultural understanding.

Beyond Examinations: Fostering World-Readiness

While preparing learners for the NSC examinations is a core component of our programme, our vision extends far beyond a purely examination-driven approach. We are committed to fostering true world-readiness, equipping our students to become independent, innovative thinkers capable of tackling complex challenges and engaging meaningfully with current and global issues.

As a proud Curro school, we champion an environment where learners are encouraged to:

• Express their ideas confidently
• Take initiative and responsibility for their own learning and lives
• Develop highly-valued 21st-century skills such as critical analysis, creativity, and collaboration

Expand Your Horizons: Dynamic Subject Choices

Curro Riverside is excited to offer an innovative approach to subject selection, allowing high school learners to extend their choices beyond the traditional on-campus offerings. Through live, interactive lessons conducted during the school day, students can access a wide array of additional subjects, enriching their academic profile and personalising their learning experience. This initiative serves as a powerful extension of our already enhanced curriculum, ensuring every learner can pursue their passions and prepare for diverse future pathways.

The Curro Difference: Project-Based Learning & Self-Discovery

Our commitment to providing an excellent education in limited class sizes is underscored by our unique pedagogical approach. We teach the national CAPS curriculum through dynamic project-based learning and guided self-discovery. This methodology empowers learners to actively interact with material, uncover core concepts independently, and truly make knowledge their own.

While regular assessments and tests are part of our structure, our primary focus is on cultivating learners' intellectual abilities to research, solve problems creatively, and initiate proactive action – essential skills for lifelong success.
