Grade 000

This programme allows plenty of opportunities to learn through play in a loving, caring environment. Our little anchors spend busy days exploring and making discoveries.

 

Grade 00

This class continues to learn through lots of play, but they also have more formal periods where they explore the concepts necessary to prepare them for Grade R.

 

Grade R

This year covers the concepts as laid down in the CAPS curriculum; our pre-reading, pre-writing and pre-maths programmes ensure our boys and girls are well prepared for Grade 1.
