Curriculum

We offer students the option of studying either the highly acclaimed CAPS-Aligned Learning or Cambridge curriculum.

CAPS-Aligned Learning

Our study centre provides a structured, CAPS-aligned learning programme designed to support students with different learning needs, abilities and academic goals. The CAPS curriculum provides a clear and comprehensive framework, helping learners build strong subject knowledge while developing essential skills and confidence throughout their schooling journey.

For students in Grades 8-12, we work with Elroi, a highly recommended syllabus provider offering quality CAPS-aligned learning material and academic support. Their programme provides learners with a structured pathway through the high school curriculum while allowing them to progress at a pace that suits their individual needs.

Whether your child needs additional academic support, benefits from a more focused learning environment, or requires a flexible approach to schooling, our CAPS-aligned programme provides a solid foundation for meaningful academic progress.
