Curriculum - Academics

Grayston Preparatory aims to develop children who are independent learners, critical and creative thinkers.

The school embraced the THRASS (Teaching Handwriting, Reading and Spelling Skills) programme as the basis for all literacy learning. Paired with this programme the school uses a basal reading programme to enhance the development of reading skills. A constructivist approach to mathematics teaching and a focus on problem solving is adopted throughout the school.

We use a class teaching strategy until the end of Grade 5, where learners remain with their respective class teacher for the majority of learning other than Art, Information Communication Technology, Physical Education, Music and Zulu. We employ specialist teachers for those particular aspects of our children's education. 

In Grades Six and Seven we use a subject teaching strategy where learners move to their respective teachers' classrooms. This allows the children the benefit of subject teaching in an environment in which the pupils are comfortable, as preparation for high school.

As the pupils move through the school they are introduced to various educational talks and outings, in order to enhance the classroom experience and educational process.
