Choice of curriculum
Our school’s curriculum is based on CAPS (South Africa) & International (London). The International curriculum includes the subjects Mathematics, Science, and English. CAPS curriculum includes all the other subjects. Fully comprehensive, endorsed student books, mapped to the CAPS & International syllabuses will be available for all the learners.
This blend of International and CAPS is to address the big void prevalent in South African schools and enables all our learners to compete with the international standards and fraternity.
Coding is incorporated in the weekly schedule at DHIS. Structured computer lessons through curriculum-related programs and activities provide innovative and creative learning experiences that are tailored to the student’s needs. Coding helps kids learn to understand problems, break them down and provide solutions.
The 4th industrial revolution is upon us. We stand at the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work and relate to one another. Jobs that are relevant today will not be relevant or even exist in the near future. The education sector is in a unique position to prepare the next generations for this revolution – not as passive technology consumers, but as active creators of tomorrow’s technology – robotics and coding (computer language) is at the center of this. At DreamHill teaching Robotics and Coding is what we do. We believe that each child should be given the opportunity to start off their education journey by having a solid foundation of the 4th industrial revolution – technology. The objective is to make robotics and coding second nature to learners. Just like any language, once they are taught the computer language, through coding, children will be able to use it to communicate with technology in whatever field they decide to pursue.
Learners also get a chance to choose between the first additional language(CAPS) between Afrikaans & Zulu.
