Curriculum & Care
A tailored approach to learning that combines the CAPS curriculum with therapeutic support and care to assist each child in working towards their full potential.
Where Learning Meets Development
At Pretoria Preparatory School, we know that children learn best when they feel supported, understood, and confident. Alongside a strong academic programme, we offer integrated on-site occupational and speech therapy as part of the school day, so learners get the help they need without missing out on learning. Our therapy sessions are practical, engaging, and personalised, with close collaboration between teachers, therapists, and families.
By supporting the child academically, socially, and emotionally, we help every learner build the skills and confidence to thrive at school and beyond.

Ongoing Assessment & Progress Monitoring
Initial Assessment
Children begin their journey with a battery of assessments (academic and psychological, speech therapy and occupational therapy), ensuring PPS is best placed to cater to their needs.
Regular Reviews
Our multi-disciplinary team meet weekly to review progress and adjust to each learner's programme as needed.
Progress Tracking
We benchmark progress through Olympiad and provincial assessments.
Preparing for the Next Step
Our goal is to prepare children for their next chapter, whether that is rejoining a mainstream school or progressing within a supportive environment. We work closely with families to identify the right time and place for transition.
Alongside academics, learners participate in group activities that nurture confidence, curiosity, and social growth, ensuring:
Academic Readiness
Building strong foundations for future learning
Social Development
Fostering confidence and social skills
Emotional Wellbeing
Supporting emotional resilience and self-awareness
