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 helps learners use their intellectual abilities to explore the learning material in a manner that makes it real to them somehow. This happens through research, experiments and assignments along with regular teaching methods, which ultimately prepares learners to write the IEB exams in high school.
As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby preschools in the group whose children can easily progress to us include Curro Bryanston, The King’s School Linbro Park, Curro Douglasdale, Curro Fourways, Curro Waterfall, Sharonlea Childcare and Pre-primary, Magic Beings, Curro Aurora, and Curro Chartwell – all within a 20-minute drive.
Our foundation phase starts by helping Grade R learners get ready for the formal learning that starts in Grade 1. In this phase, they learn the basic foundations on which all further learning is based:
Language (read, spell, understand, speak, listen)
Mathematics (count, understand numbers, addition, subtraction and multiplication)
Life skills (physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, creativity)
In the intermediate phase, the work becomes less tangible or real, and more abstract. To do this, learners start with project-based learning, which means they do research, assignments, and experiments to explore the material outside just the textbook.
As part of the Curro school group, we believe that learning stretches to beyond just the classroom. That is why we offer a few value-added programmes that brings fun into school and supports their academics. These include the following:
Community-building events
Extra lessons and parent-in-school days
Integrated sports in the school day
