Choosing the right school for your child is a deeply personal and important decision. At Growing Minds, we understand that many parents seek a balance between academic outcomes and a nurturing environment that truly supports their child’s potential.
We offer a progressive approach to mainstream education that utilises creative teaching methods, small class sizes, and individualised learning—all within the official Western Cape Education Department (WCED) curriculum.
A Holistic Learning Experience
At Growing Minds, we believe every child has their own way of learning. Our small class sizes – with no more than 12 students per class – allow our teachers to adjust lessons to each student’s strengths and learning style. This personalised attention helps foster a love for learning and encourages students to engage with the material actively. Our teachers build strong relationships with their students, creating a supportive classroom environment where questions are welcomed and curiosity is celebrated.
We recognise that children flourish when their academic, emotional, and physical needs are nurtured in unison. That’s why we integrate enrichment classes and therapeutic activities into our school day. From interactive learning tools to hands-on projects, our methods inspire creativity while reinforcing core academic concepts. This balanced, whole-child approach ensures that students achieve academic success and grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.

Creativity in the Classroom
Creative teaching methods are at the heart of our philosophy. Learning at Growing Minds goes beyond textbooks and leaves behind the legacy of repetitive learning. Our interactive and dynamic approach engages students through group discussions, experiential learning, and cross-disciplinary projects. By incorporating real-world applications into lessons, we equip students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.
Imagine a history lesson where students recreate significant events through role-play or a science class where they explore principles through hands-on experiments. This kind of immersive learning makes subjects come alive and sparks genuine interest. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to meet CAPS requirements while delivering creative experiences that make learning memorable and meaningful.

A Progressive Yet Structured Path to Matric
Growing Minds is proud to offer a progressive education within the established framework of the South African school system. We follow the CAPS curriculum, and students at our school will sit the same matric exams as their peers in traditional educational frameworks. This ensures that while we embrace innovative teaching strategies, our students are fully prepared for the same academic milestones and opportunities.
From Grade R through to our first matric class in 2026, we provide a seamless and comprehensive educational journey. Our focus on small class sizes ensures that students receive the right balance of support and challenge to reach their full potential.
Why Choose Growing Minds?
Our school is built on the belief that learning should be joyful, engaging, and respectful of each child’s individuality. By embracing a progressive education model within a mainstream curriculum, Growing Minds provides a warm, structured environment where students can truly thrive.
