However the Pre-Primary will be remaining at the Heatherbank campus.
Capstone is a Reggio-inspired, progressive school that has been running for more than 20 years as a Pre-Primary school.
In 2007, they launched their primary school, which has grown to be among the best locally.
The Pre-Primary school caters for three to six-year olds, while the Primary school starts from Grade 1 to 5. They plan to add a grade yearly until they reach Grade 7.
The Capstone School has Christian roots
Capstone follows an emergent, learner-centered curriculum, which is based on CAPS principles and strongly rooted in Christian values.
“I love the joy of learning that I see in the children every day.
I love that our school is a home away from home where children enter excited for the day ahead,” said Jacqui Zeelie, principal.
Their small classes allow the teachers to focus more attention on the students as individuals and give them the individual care.
We have fully-qualified, with a degree in either Foundation Phase or Intermediate Phase education.
“I’m so proud of our teachers, who daily make learning engaging and fun for each child, and we respect and value each child,” said Zeelie.
The school has a focus on hands-on learning, where the students can learn things through movement, exploration, outside activities.
Collaboration is very important at Capstone, we believe it allows children to grow and flourish according to their abilities and interests.
“We have nurtured a relaxed, friendly and interactive learning environment with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning.
We present our subjects in an interconnected manner to enable learning to take place in many different ways over the course of the curriculum,” explained Zeelie.
