Curro Waterfall High School | Waterfall City, Midrand

Premier High School Education in Waterfall City

Curro Waterfall High School, situated in the dynamic hub of Waterfall City, Midrand, offers a prestigious educational experience for learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12. We are committed to academic excellence, preparing our students for the internationally recognized IEB exams. With class sizes strictly limited to a maximum of 25 learners, we ensure that your child receives the personal attention and mentorship required to thrive. Our goal is simple: to empower learners with the knowledge, skills, and values to become the leaders of the future.

Critical Thinking and Real-World Application

We believe education should be an active journey of discovery. While we teach the national CAPS curriculum, our approach is rooted in project-based learning. By encouraging research, experiments, and real-world assignments, we move beyond the textbook. This method cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, teaching learners to take initiative and make meaningful connections between different pieces of knowledge.

Global Perspectives and International Exposure

At Curro Waterfall, the classroom has no borders. We offer unique international exposure programmes to broaden our learners' horizons:

• Silicon Valley, USA: A tour for Programming and IT learners to the heart of the tech world.
• Italy: An immersive tour for our History learners.
• Global Collaboration: Our Mandarin language club hosts events to collaborate directly with learners in China.

Personalised Subject Choices

A Curriculum That Fits You
Teaching takes place in English, with Afrikaans and isiZulu available as additional languages. We offer specialized subjects such as Computer Science to prepare learners for the digital age. Additionally, through our digital education platform, learners can choose elective subjects beyond those physically offered at the school. These are presented live by expert Curro teachers during the school day, ensuring every child can pursue their specific career goals while still writing the IEB exam.

Holistic Support and Well-being

We understand that a good education encompasses emotional well-being and life skills. We offer several value-added programmes at no additional cost:

• Career guidance and subject choice assessments.
• Leadership programmes.
• After-school homework sessions.
• In-house Therapist: Basic assessments are included in school fees to ensure learners receive support when facing challenges.
