Academic Programme

At Erica Girls’ Primary, we are committed to educating the whole child and providing a safe, healthy, and inclusive learning environment for every learner, regardless of their academic ability. We recognise each child as a unique individual and offer a supportive, responsive environment tailored to meet their specific needs.

Our academic programme covers the core subjects:

Mathematics
English Home Language
Natural Sciences
Social Sciences
Life Skills
Afrikaans

In the Senior Phase, we also offer Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) and Technology, preparing learners for their transition to High School. In addition, we value the importance of isiXhosa and offer it as a foundational subject from Grade 1 to Grade 6.

Our Information Technology (IT) programme, through the Knowledge Network Programme, runs from Grade 1 to Grade 7. This equips our learners with essential computer skills needed for High School and beyond, covering areas like typing, formatting, and editing, while enhancing their research skills using various search engines.

We also encourage participation in external activities to broaden their learning experience, such as:

Kidz Lit Quiz
Conquesta Challenge
Sanlam Art Competition

For additional support, we offer access to DAT (extra lessons) and have a full-time Remedial Therapist on staff to assist those learners with specific learning barriers. We also offer the services of an Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, and Counsellor, all available on campus to assist both learners and parents.

By offering a diverse range of learning experiences, we believe we are nurturing well-adjusted, confident, and happy young women who are prepared to succeed academically and personally.
