Get an overview of everything we can offer you on our fact sheet. 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 allows our high school learners to explore the learning material beyond just the textbook through research, experiments and assignments, while preparing them for the NSC exams in Grade 12. Regular assessments and tests still take place, but it’s important to us that learners can use their intellectual abilities to make the material real to them in some way. This teaches learners to take initiative and make connections between pieces of knowledge – which further develops critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. We also have a few value-added programmes that further help to develop our learners into well-rounded people. These are character-building programmes that teach respect, good manners, integrity, self-worth, respect for all cultures, and career guidance and entrepreneurship. Our senior phase starts by helping Grade 8 learners grow accustomed to the greater workload of higher intensity in high school. We limit the number of learners in each class to ensure that they get individual attention in exactly the places they need. As part of the Curro school group, our learners also receive guidance when choosing their elective subjects at the end of Grade 9. From Grade 10, we prepare learners for the NSC exams in Grade 12. However, we focus on more than just assessments, by applying the work to real-life situations. This helps learners to understand the work much better, and further empowers them with knowledge and skills to become the leaders of the future. Teaching takes place in English, and learners can choose Afrikaans and isiXhosa as additional language options. They also have Business Studies as a subject in the FET phase. As a Meridian school, we form part of the greater Curro school group and we are managed as part of a joint venture with Old Mutual. Our learners enjoy preference when applying to schools in the group. Nearby schools nearby include Curro Durbanville High School and Curro Uitzicht, with Curro Academy Sandown further away. Our learners can choose elective subjects beyond what is offered at our school. These subjects take place digitally and are presented live by our teachers. Lessons are scheduled during the school day, with supervised self-directed sessions after hours. These subjects can be seen as an extension of the excellent Curro education your child gets with us, and they still write the NSC exam at the end of Grade 12. Find out which subjects are available, and gain more information about this personalised learning experience.
