We are dedicated to providing an excellent education, employing project-based learning and self-discovery methods within the national CAPS curriculum.

Building a Strong Foundation

Our foundation phase focuses on helping Grade 1 learners transition smoothly into formal learning. We emphasize the core building blocks essential for future academic success:

• Language: Reading, spelling, comprehension, speaking, and listening skills.
• Mathematics: Counting, number understanding, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• Life Skills: Physical education, real-world experiences, problem-solving, and creativity.

Exploring Abstract Concepts

In the intermediate phase, learners delve into more abstract concepts through engaging project-based learning. They conduct research, complete assignments, and perform experiments to explore the subject matter in depth.

Language and Robotics

Instruction is provided in English, with the option to study Afrikaans, isiZulu, and Sepedi as additional languages. Robotics is also offered as a subject throughout their primary school years.
