A Journey from Curiosity to Confidence
At AMSAI, every stage of learning is carefully designed to build strong foundations while nurturing creativity, confidence, and values. Our curriculum follows the South African CAPS curriculum and is enriched with extra opportunities in arts, sports, and life skills, ensuring children are fully prepared for the world ahead.
Our holistic approach blends academic excellence with character development, ensuring that every learner grows intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. From our Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre to our senior primary classes, we foster a love for learning and a sense of belonging in every child.
Grade RR – R: The Foundation Years
The first step in a child’s formal education is about more than ABCs and numbers — it’s about sparking joy in learning. In these early years, our focus is on play-based discovery and emotional development, laying the groundwork for lifelong curiosity.
Focus Areas:
Early literacy and numeracy skills
Music, art, and movement for creative expression
Play-based activities that develop problem-solving
Social and emotional learning in a nurturing environment
Nutritious meals and outdoor play
Grade 1 – 3: Building Strong Foundations
The junior primary years are where curiosity begins to take shape as knowledge. We introduce structured academics while still encouraging exploration, ensuring learners build confidence in the basics.

Literacy and numeracy fluency
Introduction to natural and social sciences
Creative arts and storytelling

Grade 4 – 7: Preparing for the Future

Focus Areas:
Advanced literacy, mathematics, and problem-solving
Science, technology, and critical thinking
