At Nkhwazi Primary School, the Lower School forms the heart of our early years programme, welcoming learners through our Reception classes and taking them to Grade 3. These formative years are a time of wonder, exploration, and rapid growth—and we’ve created a learning environment that nurtures every child’s natural curiosity and imagination.
Learning Through Play and Discovery
Our approach blends play-based learning with early literacy and numeracy instruction, encouraging children to ask questions, explore their world, and develop essential skills in a joyful, supportive setting. Classrooms are filled with hands-on activities, vibrant stories, creative arts, and interactive games that make learning both fun and meaningful.
Supporting the Whole Child
We place strong emphasis on social and emotional development, helping children learn to work together, express themselves confidently, and develop a sense of responsibility and care for others. Our dedicated and compassionate teachers work closely with each child, ensuring that every learner receives the guidance and encouragement they need to flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally.
A Strong Start for Lifelong Learning
The Lower School is more than just a starting point; it is a safe and inspiring foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
