Toddler: 18 months - 3 years

A nurturing environment that supports independence, movement, and early language development, helping children build confidence and a growing sense of self through purposeful, hands-on activity.


Preschool: 3 –-6 years (including Grade R)

A carefully prepared environment where children develop concentration, confidence, and foundational academic skills, alongside social awareness and self-discipline. This stage lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.


Junior Primary: 6 - 9 years (traditionally grades 1 - 3)

Children deepen their understanding through exploration, collaboration, and meaningful work that nurtures curiosity, responsibility, and growing independence. Outdoor exploration plays an important role in this experience.


Senior Primary: 9 - 12 years (traditionally grades 4 - 6)

Learners engage in increasingly complex thinking, research, and problem-solving, developing independence, moral awareness, and academic rigour. This is a key stage for the maturing pre-teen, where practical and relevant life lessons become essential.


Middle School: 12 - 15 years (traditionally grades 7 - 9)

An adolescent programme that supports intellectual growth, emotional development, and social responsibility through real-world learning and guided independence. These years thoughtfully bridge the Montessori approach and the Cambridge curriculum.


High School: IGCSE & A-Levels

A rigorous Cambridge programme that prepares students for global opportunities, fostering critical thinking, academic excellence, and personal responsibility.
