CURRICULUM

OUR CURRICULUM

Our curriculum is designed to meet the unique needs of every learner, ensuring they receive the right balance of academic learning, life skills, and personal development. We follow the South African National Curriculum Statement (NCS), guided by the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS), but adapt it to suit learners with special educational needs.

Three Curriculum Pathways

We recognise that each learner is different. Our school offers three curriculum pathways to provide the right level of support and challenge:

  • CAPS with Adaptations

  • Specialised Skills-Based Programme
