Welcome to Curro Hillcrest Schools, a premier institution in the Upper Highway area. Since its inception in 1994, our school has grown to become one of the top-performing schools in the region. Our humble beginnings, nestled among mushrooms, have given way to state-of-the-art facilities that include an Olympic-sized swimming pool and clay tennis court. As you step into our well-developed infrastru

cture, you'll be greeted by our spacious classrooms, where we maintain an average class size of 25 learners. Our IT, Robotics, and subject-specialist labs are designed to provide a stimulating learning environment. Our multifunctional courts and heated Olympic-sized swimming pool support our extracurricular activities, helping us to excel in these areas. We're proud of our Curro Preschool, which caters to children from 3 years old up to Grade R. Our highly modern preschool facility utilizes the well-researched Curro Preschool curriculum to develop young children from an early stage. What sets us apart from other schools in the area is our Christian Foundation and our unique curriculum delivery. Supported by Curro Holding's CCEE (Curriculum Centre for Excellence in Education), we offer the highly acclaimed IEB curriculum for Grades 10 to 12 including enriching the government's CAPS curriculum for Grades 1 to 9. Our teachers are trained by CCEE to deliver high-quality education, resulting in outstanding matric results and baseline test scores. Our sports codes foster healthy competition with surrounding schools, and we take pride in our learners' achievements at a provincial and national level. We're also committed to developing our learners' cultural side, with outstanding results in various categories and regular performances at festivals and competitions. Besides producing excellent academic, sporting, and cultural achievements we aim to produce well-rounded learners who will confidently take their place in the global village, and do so with confidence, as well as being guided by their foundational Christian values. We follow the principle of servant leadership and strive to produce learners who have a sense of community and who understand their responsibility to others. At Curro Hillcrest, we believe that good relationships between educators and parents are essential for healthy development. We prioritize cooperation and cherish our parent-teacher partnerships. We also strive to maintain a neat, child-friendly school environment that promotes good discipline.
