Learning at Monte Vista
Academics
We provide a strong academic foundation that empowers learners to reach their full potential. Our curriculum develops the knowledge, skills and values needed for a changing world.
Our Curriculum
We follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). Teaching focuses on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and strong values to support meaningful, holistic growth.
Holistic development
Academic excellence is balanced with character and life skills.
Individual attention
We know our learners and support their individual learning journeys.
Values driven
Respect, responsibility, resilience and compassion guide our work.
Technology in Every Classroom
Every classroom at Monte Vista Primary School is equipped with a modern Clevertouch interactive board. These advanced teaching tools allow our educators to combine traditional teaching methods with videos, music, educational applications, interactive games, presentations and online learning resources.
Teachers can write and draw directly on the screen, annotate worksheets and presentations, demonstrate concepts visually and encourage learners to participate in interactive classroom activities. Multiple learners can also work on the board together, supporting collaboration, problem-solving and active learning.
By incorporating technology into everyday lessons, we are able to accommodate different learning styles, make complex concepts easier to understand and prepare our learners for an increasingly digital world.
