Empowering Future Leaders in Vanderbijlpark

Curro Vanderbijlpark High School offers a dynamic and nurturing educational environment for learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12. Teaching takes place in English, and we strictly limit our class sizes to ensure that every student receives the personal attention they need to reach their full potential. With a focus on modern skills, we offer Robotics as a subject and provide Sesotho as an additional language option, all while preparing learners for the internationally recognized IEB exams in Grade 12.

Beyond the Textbook: Project-Based Learning

We are committed to making education "real." While we cover the national CAPS curriculum, our teaching approach is centred on project-based learning and self-discovery. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, our learners engage in research, experiments, and assignments. This method encourages initiative and helps students make connections between different pieces of knowledge, fostering the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for future leadership.

Extended Subject Choices

We understand that every learner has unique career aspirations. Through our personalized learning experience, learners can choose elective subjects beyond what is physically offered at our school. These subjects are presented digitally and live by expert Curro teachers during the school day, accompanied by supervised self-directed sessions. This ensures your child can pursue their specific interests while still writing the IEB exam for these subjects.

A Balanced Education

At Curro Vanderbijlpark, we believe that academic success is best achieved when balanced with sports and cultural activities. Participation in these extra-curriculars promotes team awareness, collaboration, and self-confidence. Our focused variety of activities is tailored to the interests of our learners, ranging from cheerleading to cricket. Your child is sure to find a passion that piques their interest.

A Lifelong Connection

Joining our school means becoming part of a family that supports you long after matriculation. The Curro Alumni network reconnects former students, sharing success stories and keeping the community updated. Alumni members also enjoy several benefits, including exclusive offers for their own children at selected schools.
