Preparatory

In keeping with the National Curriculum Policy, the Trinityhouse Preparatory Curriculum is divided into three phases of learning:

In the Foundation Phases (Grades 1- 3), the academic emphasis falls on the acquisition of skills which are essential to learning: Literacy, Numeracy and Life Orientation.


Language development is of cardinal importance, an all pupils are exposed to English, Afrikaans and isiZulu from Grade 1. Mathematics is pivotal in today’s world and is strongly emphasized.


The development of Language and Mathematical skills continues in the Intermediate Phase (Grades 4 to 6). During this phases pupils are also exposed to a broader range of subjects, namely: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Life Orientation.


In the Senior Phase (Grade 7) Economic and Management Sciences and Science Technology are added to this comprehensive list of subjects.


In keeping with current South African trends, Trinityhouse teaching combines the best elements of modern teaching with more traditional methodologies.

Trinityhouse averages are, without exception, above IEB and National averages and pupils are well equipped to cope with the demands of tertiary education.

Beyond the curriculum

Survival in the 21 century demands skills of agility and adaptability. At Trinityhouse opportunities are created for the development of entrepreneurial skills, and to allow for initiative and creativity to be shown. Children need to be involved and interested in shaping their learning experience. We exist in an era of communication and information. Access to unimaginable amounts of information is available today. The Internet provides an incredible research tool that can be a student's best friend or worst enemy. They need to learn the difference between factual information and factual-sounding opinions. Knowing how to manipulate information for effective oral or written communication is important. At Trinityhouse, technology is therefore embraced and integrated in the learning experience.
