Curriculum

The curriculum at Midland is based on the National Curriculum Statements (NCS), which is CAPS approved as designed by the Basic Department of Education. The teachers work hard to develop lessons that are relevant and exciting for our learners. As per our vision and mission statements, we aim to develop life-long learners who, once they leave school, are able to succeed in the world of work.

Our teachers use a variety of resources for teaching and learning. Our primary and secondary learners, from Grade 1 to 9, participate in an annual school tour. We also organize educational presentations at the school and at various educational venues. We strive to keep our learners informed of current events.

The CAPS curriculum is extensive and covers a range of subjects. Our learners study two languages: English as their Home Language (HL) and Afrikaans or Zulu as their First Additional Language (FAL), and are required to continue with their chosen language until Grade 12.

In the Foundation Phase (Grade R), learners study English, Maths, and Life Skills. In (Grades 1-3), they also study English, Afrikaans or Zulu, Maths, and Life Skills.In the Intermediate Phase (Grades 4-6), learners study English, Afrikaans or Zulu, Maths, Natural Sciences & Technology, Social Science (History & Geography), and Life Skills.
