In the Foundation Phase, emphasis is placed on developing the pupil’s knowledge, understanding and skills in reading, writing, spelling and mathematics as well as speaking and listening. As this is their introduction to formal academic work, we aim to lay an excellent foundation to set the tone for future learning.

Our pupils are encouraged to explore the world around them, ask thought-provoking questions, begin to form opinions and develop critical thinking skills in a healthy environment.

Besides their academic development, our caring Foundation Phase staff nurture the social, spiritual and emotional well-being of our pupils. We stress the importance of moral values through our RICE core values and we encourage empathy for others.  All pupils are encouraged to achieve to the best of their ability, and we strive to meet the learning needs of all our children. For this reason, we offer Remedial lessons, Speech & Language lessons as well as Occupational Therapy on campus for those pupils who have need of these services.
