Small Classes
At our school near Gallagher Conference Centre in Midrand we keep our classes small so that each child receives individual attention. Grades 1 – 9 are limited to 25 and grades 10 to 12 are limited to 15.
Balanced
Education
We believe in a balanced education consisting of learning, socializing and exercise!
Abacus
Maths
The Japanese abacus (soroban) is a special compulsory subject that teaches a love of numbers, arithmetic and mathematics up to grade 6.
Computer
Skills
Compulsory computer lessons take place in our dedicated computer room. Learners progress from elementary computer literacy to progressively more advanced techniques.
Sport
Sport is compulsory. We have our own playing field at the school for soccer. Netball is played on a hard surface, also at the school. On Wednesdays, our learners are taken by school bus to the Rabie Ridge Stadium where they are coached and play soccer, netball and tennis.
Chess
We teach chess to compliment the Japanese abacus as this is another of the very few activities that use both sides of the brain co-operatively on the same task.
Extramural
Activities
Swimming is voluntary and at an extra cost. Lessons are weekly, during school hours and year-round in a heated pool.
