Our Curriculum

In these early years, learning is all about curiosity, play, and discovery. We lay strong foundations in Numeracy and Literacy through hands-on activities that spark creativity and build a lifelong love for learning.

In the Primary Phase, students follow a broad and balanced curriculum that develops core skills in English, Mathematics, and Science. They also study Afrikaans or Setswana to promote multilingualism and cultural understanding, and Global Perspectives to help them think critically about the world around them.

Building on the Primary years, the Lower Secondary phase deepens subject knowledge and prepares students for the academic rigour of IGCSE. Learners explore a wide range of subjects, including English First Language, Mathematics, Combined Science, Geography, Art & Design, Economic and Management Sciences, Afrikaans or Setswana, and Global Perspectives.

During these crucial years, students complete the internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE. They study core subjects such as English First Language and Mathematics, and select additional subjects that align with their interests and career aspirations. Options include Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Design & Technology, Business Studies, Literature in English, Geography, Afrikaans or Setswana, and Travel & Tourism.

As the final stage of the Cambridge pathway, our AS and A Levels prepare students for university and beyond. Learners continue with subjects they excelled in during IGCSE, deepening their knowledge and developing the critical thinking and research skills needed for higher education.

We believe in educating the whole child. Alongside academics, we offer a vibrant range of co-curricular activities — including sports, public speaking, drama, leadership opportunities, and community outreach.

The Cambridge curriculum is recognised by top universities and employers worldwide. With dedicated teachers, small class sizes, and a supportive Christian ethos, Pioneer Academy gives every learner the best chance to succeed
