An Innovative Approach to Learning

Our commitment to providing a truly high-quality education goes beyond the ordinary. We proudly implement the national CAPS curriculum through an engaging and dynamic approach centered on project-based learning and self-discovery. This empowers our high school learners to delve deeper into subjects, moving beyond rote memorisation to:

• Conduct meaningful research and hands-on experiments.
• Tackle stimulating assignments that encourage critical thinking.
• Explore learning material with curiosity, fostering a genuine love for knowledge.

This innovative methodology not only prepares students comprehensively for their IEB examinations in Grade 12 but also nurtures essential life skills. We offer instruction in both English and Afrikaans, alongside a captivating selection of specialised elective subjects, including unique offerings like Dramatic Arts and Agricultural Sciences.

With our strict limit of no more than 25 learners per class, our dedicated teachers have the invaluable time and space to provide tailored personal attention, ensuring every child receives support precisely where it's needed. This fosters an environment where learning is not just effective, but truly enjoyable, making school a place your child will love to be.

Curro Rivonia believes in boundless learning opportunities. Our high school learners have the unique advantage of choosing from an extended range of elective subjects, delivered digitally by experienced Curro teachers. These engaging live lessons are seamlessly integrated into the school day, complemented by supervised self-directed sessions after hours. This innovative offering is a powerful extension of the exceptional Curro education your child receives with us, ensuring they remain fully prepared for their IEB exams at the end of Grade 12.

Please note: This exciting option is specifically designed for our high school learners and is not available to students enrolled in NCV courses at our private college due to their distinct program structures.

A Unique Integrated Campus Experience

Our campus offers a truly unique educational ecosystem, as we share facilities with a dedicated private college offering National Certificate (Vocational) – NCV – programmes from Level 2 to Level 4. The NCV pathway presents a high-standard, vocational alternative for students from Grade 10 to Grade 12, allowing them to embark on a chosen career path directly after Grade 9. This integrated environment ensures that your child remains within a supportive, school-like setting, surrounded by peers of their age.

Curro's unwavering dedication to quality education extends fully to our private college. NCV programmes are meticulously designed to equip students with highly sought-after workplace-ready skills and knowledge, providing a direct route to immediate employment for those who choose not to pursue further tertiary studies. Just like our high school, the college maintains limited class sizes to ensure lecturers can provide individualised attention to every student.

While we are proud of the NCV programmes offered on our campus, please note that we are currently not open for new enrolments to our NCV programmes.

For more detailed information about the NCV offering, please visit the dedicated page on our website.
