Preschool
Our learners all find their school a place they look forward to coming to.
We begin instilling this love for learning in the preschool. This is a time
of "learning through experience". Learners begin in grade 00 (this
is the year they turn 5) and then spend two fun filled, happy years learning
to reason, think and create.
Academic
Woodlands offers a balanced curriculum from grade 00-9 in an environment in
which each learner will develop a lively, enquiring mind. We recognize each
child's uniqueness and individual developmental needs in small classes not
larger than 20 learners.
Our teaching is based on the
principles of Outcomes Based Education.
Tuition is offered in English
and from grade 1 to 3 in Afrikaans. Our curriculum includes all the basic
subjects in accordance with the National Core Curriculum of the Department
of Education as part of the EMS curriculum learners from grade 4-9 complete
a course in entrepeneurship.
Our school has a Media Centre
and library where pupils learn to do research for projects and where a love
for books and reading is fostered.

A healthy, balanced variety of sporting and cultural activities are offered
at no additional cost.
