We encourage independent thought, nurture talent, and inspire each student to achieve their maximum potential. 


Students are also introduced to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. The programme offers students further opportunities to become active, caring, lifelong learners who are able to confidently participate in the world.


At Crawford International North Coast Pre-Primary, we equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a formal learning environment when they move to Grade 1. Our Pre-Primary forms part of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 – 12.

Our innovative and student-focused methodology is central to our teaching and learning, where the academic philosophy of THINK, UNDERSTAND and APPLY is the foundation. Future-focused skills are developed throughout each student’s learning journey.

Future-Focused Skills

Emphasis is placed on gross and fine motor, perceptual, cognitive, language and numeracy development. Thinking skills are honed, and students are encouraged to explore a variety of options when problem-solving to discover a workable solution. Through thinking routines, we teach our students to question and form opinions, which are expressed through:


  • discussion and reflection;
  • voice, choice, and ownership of learning
  • drawing;
  • painting and creating; and
  • role play and dramatisation. 

Personalised Learning Journey

Our holistic approach to education encourages our students to become fully rounded, unique individuals through a personalised learning journey.

Physical Challenging outdoor experiences to enhance large muscle development, which is vital for future learning.


Social & Emotional Our dedicated staff create a safe, nurturing environment where each student can develop confidence and social skills. 


Intellectual We follow the ISASA early development curriculum guidelines and extend beyond the national curriculum. Our students explore the three learning areas of Mathematics, Literacy and Life Skills through our concept-driven units of inquiry. Units of learning and the related conversations encourage our students to evolve as inquirers, both within and beyond the classroom. 


Creative We celebrate the arts through dance, drama, art, and music and consider them instrumental in building self-esteem and allowing students to express themselves.

Meaningful Play

We tap into our students’ unique abilities and talents, relying on their natural sense of curiosity and provoking their thinking through meaningful play opportunities and inquiry-based learning. Our students are encouraged to explore, discover, and experiment.
