VISION

VALUES
Curro’s values originate from its founding date. As a group of concerned, dedicated and experienced educators, four key components were identified that had to inform the value system.
Child Friendliness
Positive Discipline
Christian Ethos and Values
Creative Thinking
Curro sees the written curriculum as the fundamental ingredient of its product and if the taught curriculum can be received by learners according to the intentions of the written curriculum, successful learning takes place.
For too long, many schools have neglected the importance of dynamic curriculum development and in many cases placed too much focus on the achievement of sports results.
Through these values, Curro creates a balanced educational arena in which many co-curricular activities such as sport and culture can be enjoyed by learners whilst not losing sight of the core essence of a typical school, namely successful learning.
