LOWER AND UPPER PRIMARY
The Primary section is from Kindergarten 2 to Grade 6. The maximum number of pupils per class is 24 and this makes it possible for teachers to give pupils individual attention. The Montessori technique is used in the teaching of most subjects and children are encouraged to discover things for themselves. The use of teaching aids and the practical nature of lessons make learning fun for pupils.
