Academics
Grade RR right through to Grade 12, taught by qualified phase specialists and assessed by a private external examination board.
Curriculum
We teach CAPS — the same National Curriculum Statement every South African school follows. What differs at EduPlanet is who sets and marks the papers.
When an independent body sets and marks the examinations, nobody inside the school can quietly soften the standard. Our learners need to work harder, aim higher and achieve more — and when a result comes back, a parent can trust it, because the school did not award it to itself.
Qualified and dedicated foundation phase and intermediate phase staff bring the curriculum to life through lessons built around participation. Children engage with the work rather than sitting through it, and the habit of taking part carries up into the senior grades.
Subjects by phase
Four phases carry a learner from the pre-primary classroom to matric. Each one builds directly on the last, so nothing has to be unlearned along the way.
Grades RR–3
Reading, writing and numeracy laid down properly, through play, movement and creative work. This is where a child decides how they feel about school.
Grades 4–6
Separate subjects begin in earnest, and with them a steady rise in independence, note-taking and responsibility for one's own work.
Grades 7–9
The widest spread of subjects a learner will study. It is deliberately broad, so that the Grade 9 subject choice is made from experience rather than guesswork.
Grades 10–12
The matric years. Four core subjects are compulsory for every learner; the rest of the timetable is built from the elective list alongside.

How we teach
A lesson a child takes part in is a lesson a child remembers. That principle runs from the pre-primary classroom right up to the matric year.
