Welcome to Curro! We are proud of our mission to make quality independent school education accessible to more learners. In 20 years, we have built a noble tradition supported by dedicated, experienced staff and enthusiastic learners. As the demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it has become more evident that we all need to work together to ensure that our children reach their potential. We believe that learners, parents and schools, must work together in an extended environment to ensure success for all our learners. We believe it is everyone’s responsibility to empower children with the creative, intellectual, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become the academic and socially responsible people who will take on the 21st century with confidence. You are invited to be an active participant at your Curro school, whether as a member of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), or in special event participation, you are encouraged to be involved! Research demonstrates that parent participation in their child’s school coincides with a greater likelihood of academic success for that learner. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with your family. ANDRIES GREYLING CEO 3
