OUR SCHOOL CURRICULUM

At Empro Academy, we embrace a rigorous and enriching curriculum that combines the best of South African and international educational practices. Our core curriculum follows the CAPS guidelines, ensuring our students meet national standards. We foster a multilingual environment where English is our language of learning and teaching, with Afrikaans as our first additional language. Recognizing the crucial role of mathematics in today’s world, we implement the renowned Singapore Mathematics system alongside the CAPS curriculum. This approach provides our students with a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and equips them to excel in their academic pursuits.
