Elementary School
Grades K - 5
Welcome to Elementary School
Welcome to our Elementary School, a unique learning environment where learning and play seamlessly intertwine. At the heart of our mission lies the development of each child's identity. Through a tailored curriculum that fosters unique interests and uncovers individual strengths, we firmly believe that nurturing a child's view of themselves as learners is the key to lifelong success.
​
Throughout their time in elementary school, our students cycle through the creative process, as they learn to generate their own ideas and share them with their peers and community. With a strong emphasis on reading, writing, maths, and speaking skills, we have found that blending choice and connection into our teaching methods results in highly motivated learners. Our approach aligns with the Common Core State Standards, which encourage skill-based learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving through daily reading, writing, and maths workshops.
My kids are so happy, that I drive all the way from Hartbeespoort to get them there.
Definitely not a “cookie cutter” mentality - High academic, low anxiety, where kids are taught a love for learning.
- Casey Lee Heynes (Parent)
