The Foundation Phase (Grade 1 – Grade  3) spans the child’s first few years of formal schooling.  Vital skills, knowledge, attitudes and values are established during these years.  During this Phase, the foundation is laid for each child to succeed in Literacy and Mathematics, and to develop healthy self-esteem, good work ethic, social skills, and love of learning (Life Skills).  At our school, we make every effort to recognise, acknowledge and develop our young learners’ strengths, talents and potential.

Each grade in the Foundation Phase has two classes, with approximately 25 children in each class.  Each class is taught by a suitably qualified, dedicated Foundation Phase teacher.

The Foundation Phase curriculum is enriched and supported by enthusiastic and motivated teachers who go beyond the ordinary to provide a contemporary, relevant, and exciting education for our young learners.
