In a vibrant, challenging, and enjoyable environment, we aim to teach independent thinking and inculcate habits of work and study that equip each student to succeed.


We pride ourselves on the fact that we offer a wide variety of cultural enrichment and subject offerings. The inclusion of the arts and expanded language offerings, including English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and Italian among others (at a conversational and a formal level), aligns with our aim to provide a holistic education.

 

Experienced local and international teachers lead our programmes and tap into the inquiring minds of our future changemakers. We personalise the learning journey for each student as we mentor them towards making informed choices. Our locally and globally relevant learning makes us the school of choice, where ‘every child is a masterpiece’.

Grade 1 – 7

We measure our students’ performance against credible

international standards. Crawford International Preparatory

Schools have been awarded authorisation as International

Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools offering the International

Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). The programme

is internationally recognised and aims to develop students as

global citizens.


The programme places emphasis on universal development, and as such, is designed to develop students’ understanding of challenges and experiences of others locally and globally through continually exploring real-world issues. Our schools offer an enriched curriculum, incorporating technology to enhance the learning experience, a variety of option subjects and a focus on the arts.

World-Class Education

Crawford International collaborates with the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) to bring world-class education to our schools.


The IB programmes are unique and encourage students to:


  • Think critically and challenge assumptions;
  • Evolve as inquirers, both within and beyond the classroom;
  • Consider varied contexts – personal, local and global – when engaging in their units of learning and the related conversations;
  • Engage with a diverse group of people in an increasingly globalised and rapidly changing world;
  • Become more culturally aware through learning additional languages and developing a rich understanding of varied cultures and countries;
  • Drive their own learning through ongoing self-reflection to determine their current strengths and ascertain the steps needed to enhance their personal understanding and skills;
  • Participate in programmes of education that can lead to entry into some of the highest-ranking universities in the world.

 

The International Baccalaureate further enhances the rigorous, globally-aligned academic programme at our preparatory schools, preparing students to excel at college and beyond.
