Academics

Levels of Learning

At the beginning of the year our Grade 1-3 learners have fun completing some baseline assessment activities. This assists our teachers to understand each learner's strengths and areas for growth. Differentiated teaching and extension/support takes place once the learners' individual level of learning is ascertained. Learners in Grade One start with basic reading cards and books and once their skills are assessed, where appropriate, they are given more complex readers and work.
