ACADEMIC EDUCATION
Grades R - 12 Academics
FOUNDATION PHASE
Our Foundation Phase begins at Grade 1 and goes up to Grade 3. Our Academic classes are interspersed between Dance Classes, providing training and teaching of exceptional standards.
PRIMARY PHASE
Our Primary Phase begins at Grade 4 and goes up to Grade 7. In this Phase, most of our Dance classes happen in the morning with the Academics in the afternoon. This is to accommodate our Senior Dances, who begin their Dance Training in the afternoon after they have completed their morning Academic classes.
SENIOR PHASE
Starting in 2019, our Academics will expand to include Grade 8 to 12. Senior Students take classes via the Online School (www.onlineschool.co.za) for their Academics where they will obtain an IEB Matric. Their intensive Dance Training begins at 14:30 and goes through to around 18:30 depending on the scheduled classes.
