Early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring, and discovery. It is also our belief that our preschool program should consist of positive and purposeful strategies designed to help children meet their individual goals. Our classes are unique, we have the responsibility to assist children to achieve and function at their optimal developmental level. The mutual respect and collaboration between parents, teachers, aides, children, and peers are of vital importance in helping children meet their goals of independence and self-awareness.

Developmentally appropriate, child-centred activities where children can be active participants in the learning process are critical. This paired with teacher-directed learning activities ensures optimal learning and success. The classroom strives to provide safe structured experiences in an inviting, comfortable, organized atmosphere that promotes active discovery and choice-making to encourage the development of confident, socially conscious human beings.

?As a Christian school, our number one priority is to instil Christian values from a young age so that learners can follow the right path, learn about right and wrong, and develop independence. We believe in promoting the learner’s social and emotional development by encouraging learners to socialize with other learners and providing a safe home to express themselves. It is also important for us that all our learners are equipped learners with the required skills and knowledge for the next phase of school by providing a strong foundation in literacy, mathematics, writing, and reading. Last but not least we promote physical development by providing a sports curriculum that is specifically designed for young learners and providing a play environment that encourages lots of time and space for energetic noisy play.

We offer 2 classes per grade from Pre-grade R right up to Grade 7, keeping class size to a maximum of 24 learners per class to ensure learner-focused quality education. We use the South African National Schools Curriculum to facilitate compatibility with government schools and are proud of the academic standard we maintain.

?Our staff complement is focused, well-trained and qualified to deliver the very best education for your child.  From the basics of literacy and numeracy in the foundation phases, right through to helping your child apply their logic in mathematics, languages and the sciences, Highlands Primary School is dedicated to making the difference in your child with Christian doctrine and values held at the very core of the education we offer!
