Grade R
We like to play and learn!
Grade R is the first year of the Foundation Phase. It is the ideal program for your children to develop a firm academic foundation, until the year in which they turn seven and start Grade 1.
An integrated approach that focusses on learning through play and fun activities.
Brainline has developed our own Grade R program (curriculum) based on the CAPS requirements of the Department of Basic Education while allowing you as parent/guardian flexibility. Our program comprises a combination of a Home Language, First Additional Language, Mathematics, and Life Skills, which are addressed holistically with a theme-based approach.
Is Grade R the right product for you?
This is ideal if you:
Would like to prepare your child for Grade 1.
Want to educate your child through play activities.
Don’t want to be bound by timelines.
Want to complete selected modules at your own pace.
Still want to comply with legal requirements.
Already in Grade 1, 2 or 3 but need to develop required skillsets?
If your child needs to refine and perfect the skillsets that are essential for the successful completion of the Foundation Phase, and has not done Grade R, use this programme simultaneously as an academic support programme.
