JUNIOR SCHOOL

GROW IN A SAFE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

In our Junior School, St Nicholas follows the South African curriculum, guided by the IEB, and our highly qualified teachers create every opportunity for each child to achieve the standards expected of them.

Our small classes and dedicated teachers ensure that every child receives a strong start, consistently producing a high standard of work. Each learner is allowed to build a solid foundation on which to thrive in the next phase of their schooling.

Children who may lack confidence particularly benefit from our diverse and enriching curriculum. Strong emphasis is placed on the development of essential maths and language skills, empowering learners to cultivate independent work habits and valuable life skills. We are proud to partner with Tutor and align with their belief that “the vast capacity of every human brain can be unlocked, given the right context and opportunity.”

At St Nicholas, every child’s unique talents are recognised and nurtured, ensuring each one is supported in becoming the very best version of themselves.

Experi-Buddies, an engaging extra-mural programme, introduces young learners to the excitement of science through interactive projects, dynamic demonstrations, and hands-on experiments. Participating learners enjoy weekly sessions at school.

A range of stimulating excursions is arranged for each grade throughout the year. These outings provide valuable opportunities to explore places of cultural and educational interest, while also encouraging connection beyond the classroom.
