SACPS bringing Education to Life

The School follows the South African National Curriculum. We offer the a wide variety of subjects according to the South African National Curriculum which is currently the CAPS syllabus. 

The proximity of the school to the Embassies and the Union Buildings as well as the Tshwane CBD, makes us a school of choice for the children of ambassadors, parliamentary staff and city based employees of Tshwane. This adds a very important blend of diversity to the school.

Academic Support

The staff of SACPS is totally committed to providing every learner with support relevant to the needs of the learner, and the School is also cognisant of the fact that the inclusivity of the educational programme does present many challenges with learners having specific barriers to learning. As a result the School has geared the academic efforts towards identifying the specific needs of learners early and then referring them to specialists in these fields.

SPECIFIC SCHOOL ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMMES

At no extra charge – these classes need to be arranged well in advance to ensure that a teacher’s time can be best utilised in the school and that there is no clash with other programmes offered at the school – usually these classes will be arranged between the teacher and the learners and will not be individual tuition.

 

Once a week a specialist teacher in Afrikaans, Mathematics and English is available for all grades in the school.
Afternoon Extra Classes for Matric Learners are compulsory. It is expected that they attend additional classes in every subject every week day. This is set out clearly in a special roster made for them.

Compulsory classes are offered to matrics every Saturday morning. 

The first week of every holiday is set aside for Matric Subject teaching and a roster is set up to facilitate the smooth functioning of this special service.

 

Grade 11 learners are expected to fit in to the Grade 12 extra classes at the end of the 4th term once the Grade 12 learners are no longer part of the regular timetable – this is to ensure that an early start can be made to the extensive and demanding CAPS syllabus in preparation for the final year.

Learners are expected to achieve at least an average of 50% for mathematics in Grade 9 to be admitted to the Grade 10 class for Mathematics. It is to be noted that a learner offering mathematical literacy has access to many university courses. In addition, a child will have to pass mathematics in Grade 9 to be a candidate for application of Grade 10 Mathematics. Numerous school requirements are communicated as part of the learner enrolment process.

Classes at Primary and Senior School level are conducted by trained SACPS staff and other teachers from local Pretoria schools. These classes run THROUGHOUT EVERY HOLIDAY and OVER EVERY LONG WEEKEND for the WHOLE YEAR! There is a nominal charge for these classes which run from 08:30 to 13:00 every Saturday. (currently not being offered)
