Academics

Preschool

Children learn through exploration of their surroundings, and knowledge gained through play is retained more effectively and quickly than that acquired in a structured, desk-based learning environment.

Our programme focuses on developing core skills such as the below:

Mathematics: shapes, size, counting, addition and subtraction

Communication: speech, reading and listening

Creativity: personal expression though activities that involve drawing and painting

Primary School

In Primary School, we focus on establishing basic foundations that pave the way for a lifetime of learning. These foundational skills encompass not only academic subjects like Mathematics, Literacy, and Science but also extend to essential life skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. By nurturing these fundamentals early on, we ensure that each child develops a solid academic footing and the confidence to explore new ideas and challenges.

Primary subject offerings include:

  • Robotics
  • Life skills
  • Maths
  • English
  • Social studies
  • Natural sciences
  • Siswati/French/Afrikaans

High School

In High School, we build upon the solid foundations established in earlier years, preparing students for the complexities of higher education and beyond. Here, our focus shifts towards refining and deepening academic skills in core subjects such as Mathematics, Language Arts, Sciences, and Social Studies. Beyond these essential disciplines, we also emphasize critical thinking, research skills, and independent learning—equipping students with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
