Curro Aurora Independent School

Welcome to the Curro Aurora!

We are an English, Co-ed school, catering for ages 3ys (Group 3 ) to Grade 12. Our school’s journey has been dynamic and compelling. Ours is an environment that celebrates individual uniqueness so that all who pass through here are empowered to lead
lives of purpose and relevance.

At the fundamental core of Curro Aurora lies a real, tangible desire to connect. When one walks around our beautiful campus, it becomes fast apparent that relationships permeate our educational programme.

As John Maxwell attests, “In times of difficulty, relationships are a shelter. In times of opportunity, they are a launching pad.” Our school is Smart and Friendly.

While the Curro Aurora learner is smartly attired, they are encouraged to be politely outspoken. Our educators remain available to their learners at all times to offer assistance, remediation or simply to be there to listen. At the heart of these relationships is the earnest effort to live our 5 values:

Integrity
Courage
Accountability
Respect
Empathy

It is critical that education meets our learners in their world. As such, we embrace multiple technologies and, possibly more significantly, are streamlining the key 21st Century skills of Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Meta-Cognition and Motivation of self into our planning. One of the privileges of working at Curro Aurora is being a member of a staff body that constantly seeks to improve its collective offering; this should be the case if one considers the ever-morphing world of our children.

We are proud, too, of our Total Education package. It is our fervent desire to educate the entire child, be it through academics, cultural pursuits, sports, clubs and societies, leadership initiatives, enrichment programmes or society-building initiatives.

We expect a high level of accountability from our young charges and, having done exactly that, they produce exceptional work across the gambit of school activities. Our learners are truly accountable for their school, just as they will be truly accountable for leading the future of our country. Curro Aurora, therefore, accepts the dire responsibility of empowering the future of our country, today.

When our learners return for their respective 10-year reunions, we hope that they reminisce about a home away from home where they had fun, where they were engaged, where they felt invested, where they felt celebrated and celebrated others, where they were inspired to explore and discover new things, where they felt secure enough to try and where they believed that they were – and would be – a game-changer.
We have waiting lists in most of our grades. Please apply today to avoid disappointment.
