Preparatory
The essential steps to great discovery! This is it – the years when your child gets their first taste of the world out there. The thrill of reading their first book by themselves, the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing problems of increasing complexity, the awareness of a standout talent on the sports field and on the stage – it all starts now.
The essential steps to great discovery! This is it – the years when your child gets their first taste of the world out there. The thrill of reading their first book by themselves, the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing problems of increasing complexity, the awareness of a standout talent on the sports field and on the stage – it all starts now.
We’ve taken special care to create the space for your children to explore their strengths in all areas, so that they may develop to their full potential and become rounded individuals.
Our classrooms and facilities have been designed with this in mind and a comfortable learning space for approximately 25 children is provided in each class, although we reserve the right to accommodate residents’ children who apply during the course of the year. Classrooms are fitted with energy-efficient LED lighting and acoustic ceilings to screen external sounds. With these potential distractions removed, children are able to focus on their lessons.
Also key are the verandas leading off each classroom; all with magnificent views. These have been designed to create a flexible learning environment that facilitates a variety of learning activities and teaching styles.
A host of facilities ensures that children have access to everything they need for a happy, productive school day, from a canteen providing nutritious food to The Hive and Science Laboratory, where exploration, creativity, and discovery will be at the heart of all that the students do.
Preparatory crest – Symbolic meaning
Water: Nurturing
Water is a symbol of nurture and care, both of which are crucial for development. It also represents that spine of life that runs through Steyn City – the Jukskei River.
Perpetual: Partnership
Partnership stands for guidance, discipline, and care between parent and teacher. All have their own specific role to play in our children’s lives and it is through this close and respectful partnership that they will develop optimally.
Flower: Outcome
The result of partnership and nurturing is healthy and sustainable growth for our students. This is a foundation that will allow them to bloom in the next phase of education.
