Curro Savanna City | Primary School | De Deur, Vereeniging

Curro Savanna City has a primary school in De Deur, Vereeniging, that accommodates learners from Grade R to Grade 7. Our dedicated teachers, small class sizes and enhanced curriculum empower learners with skills and knowledge to grow into high-performing, self-confident individuals and to reach their personal, educational and eventual-workplace goals. 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. Teaching takes place in English, and learners have Robotics and Natural Sciences as subjects. As a Curro school, our focussed subjects provide primary school learners with a solid foundation on which to excel in high school and, later on, make subject choices that would benefit their future dreams. We believe that participation in activities plays an important role in promoting health, discipline, self-confidence and community. Therefore, our focused activities are designed to help learners discover their inherent talents, or to broaden their exposure beyond their current reference framework. Some of our activities are aimed at boosting learners’ cognitive abilities, while others provide pure enjoyment. We also offer Curro Arts Superhero (CAS) as part of the Curro Create initiative. CAS is an internal creative mentorship platform with a grading element, where learners are encouraged to discover, develop and display their inherent creative talents.

As a Curro school, our school’s sports facilities are designed to accommodate a variety of sports activities. Our sports facilities include the following: Swimming pool Five-a-side soccer turf Rugby field Two netball/tennis courts Learners learn best in a fun, supportive environment where they form an active part of the learning process. As a Curro school, this environment is built by several factors, including the classroom’s appearance. Our classrooms are designed to be visually pleasing without causing undue distraction, while our dedicated teachers explain or present our enhanced curriculum with enthusiasm and passion in small class sizes. However, the most engaging principle is project-based learning, which guides learners to learn the material through their own research and discovery. Rather than simply reading information from a textbook, the information is learned by interacting with the material through assignments, research, discussions, or creative projects. Curro Savanna City has a primary school in De Deur, Vereeniging that provides high-quality education for learners from Grade R to Grade 7.
