Curro Waterfall | Primary School | Waterfall City, Midrand

Excellence in Waterfall City

Located in the vibrant hub of Waterfall City, Midrand, Curro Waterfall Primary School offers a nurturing and ambitious educational environment for learners from Grade R to Grade 7. We are dedicated to raising the next generation of leaders by providing a high-quality education in English. With strictly limited class sizes, we ensure that every learner receives personal attention. Our holistic offering includes music enrichment, swimming lessons, and specialized subjects like isiZulu and Robotics, all designed to help your child grow into a confident leader.

Bringing Learning to Life: Project-Based Learning

We go beyond the traditional textbook approach. While we adhere to the national CAPS curriculum, our teaching methodology is centred on project-based learning and self-discovery. We encourage learners to conduct research, perform experiments, and complete assignments that make the learning material "real." This approach develops critical thinking, initiative, and the ability to connect different pieces of knowledge—skills that give our learners a distinct head start for their future careers.

A Structured Path to Success

The Foundation Phase (Grade R to Grade 3):
We focus on preparing Grade R learners for formal schooling and cementing the basics for the grades that follow. Key areas include:

• Language: Reading, spelling, understanding, speaking, and listening.
• Mathematics: Number sense, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• Life Skills: Physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, and creativity.

The Intermediate Phase (Grade 4 to Grade 7):
As academic work becomes more abstract, we utilize project-based learning to help students explore concepts deeply. We also introduce Robotics as a subject in Grade 7 to prepare them for the digital age.

Language Options:
Teaching takes place in English, with Afrikaans and isiZulu available as additional language options.

More Than Academics: Value-Added Programmes

At Curro Waterfall, we believe that emotional well-being and real-life skills are just as important as academic results. We offer a variety of enriching programmes to broaden our learners' horizons—at no additional cost:

• Baking and Entrepreneurship
• eSports (Minecraft)
• Leadership Programmes
• Real Life 4 Kids
• Educational Excursions

Student Support and Wellness

We are committed to the emotional health of our students. Our school features an in-house therapist available to assist when teachers notice a learner facing challenges. While specialized interventions may carry a cost, basic assessments are included in the school fees to ensure no child struggles in silence.

A Balanced Education

We balance our rigorous academics with a vibrant sports and culture programme. Participation promotes collaboration, team awareness, and self-confidence. Our activities are tailored to the interests of the Midrand community and include unique offerings such as drumming and chess.

• Full Holiday Care: Learners enrolled in aftercare attend holiday care at no extra cost. (Casual attendance is also available for non-aftercare learners at an additional fee).
