For Grade 3 – 5 children, we offer multi-grade educational experiences. We have developed courses that sometimes stretch over either two, or three grades.
A multi-grade environment is special and very stimulating. Older kids have the opportunity to cement in concepts that might have been lost in earlier years, and gain self-confidence by helping younger ones. Younger children have the opportunity to see how complexity grows with increased proficiency.

We will be bringing maths to life at the Explorers’ Club! We aim to create a fun, positive learning environment with a focus on real-world application problems. We aim to get learners to understand why maths is important and how it is relevant in our daily lives.
Mathematics is important because it helps develop critical awareness of relationships in social, environmental, cultural and economic situations. It is required to help with communication, thinking, reasoning logically and application in daily life. It is used to investigate, analyse, represent and interpret. Mathematics helps us to pose and solve problems, it plays a role in real life circumstances, including personal development. Explorers’ Club Mathematics will be integrating this knowledge and these skills into a different themes using experiential learning that is real, responsive and emergent.
In our course planning, we have incorporated the following:
Grade 3 – 4:

English is such an important subject because it teaches us to communicate in various ways, most of which we encounter in our daily lives. It also teaches us critical thinking, a skill that is very important in today’s society.
The aim is to use English to teach two main “umbrella” skills:
These are both crucial skills for modern living. Explorers’ Club English will be integrating this knowledge and these skills into different themes using experiential learning that is real, responsive and emergent.
In our course planning, we have incorporated the following:
Die Afrikaanse klas se doelwit gaan “kreatiewe en kragtige kommunikasie in konteks” wees. Ons gaan die volgende vaardighede deur middel van die studie en skep van verskeie tekste slyp om by die doelstelling uit te kom:
Dit bevorder leerders se letterkundige vaardighede, estetiese aanvoeling en verbeelding, sodat hulle oor die vermoëns beskik om hul leefwêreld te herskep, beter te begryp en hul verbeelding kan gebruik om self doeltreffend te kommunikeer.
Meet our amazing educators who are beautiful, innovative women, ready to take on a challenge and develop an exciting learning experience during lockdown.
They will share brave new worlds with your children, make them laugh, draw and write, and ignite their minds.
