By providing learners with a high-quality education, we help them become the future leaders
“Curro Nelspruit Class of 2023, we applaud you! You have applied the discipline and achieved greatness,” said Curro Nelspruit’s head of high school, Nico Bronkhorst.
Curro Nelspruit has a high school in Sonheuwel (The Rest Nature Estate) that provides excellent Curro education to learners from grades eight to 12. Our class sizes are limited to no more than 25, so that your child gets personal attention, and we have a wide variety of specialised subjects such as robotics and Siswati. Teaching takes place in Afrikaans and English. We are an IEB school, and we also have a school transport option.
By providing learners with a high-quality education that involves academics, physical health and emotional well-being, we help them become the leaders of the future that can take charge of their own lives and make a difference in society. We are committed to providing learners with an excellent education. That is why our approach to teaching the national CAPS curriculum is based on project-based learning and self-discovery.
This approach allows our high school learners to explore the learning material beyond just the textbook through research, experiments and assignments, while preparing them for the IEB exams in Grade 12.
Regular assessments and tests still take place, but it’s important to us that learners can use their intellectual abilities to make the material real to them in some way.
