Cambridge Curriculum
Our school is an accredited Cambridge International School. Read more about the various Cambridge Pathways, as well as our students performance here.
We provide rigorous and challenging academic experiences that create explicit opportunities for our students to develop critical-thinking skills and the capacity to innovate. We use the Cambridge International Curriculum and infuse it with learning techniques that allow our students to develop competencies that equip them to succeed, whatever route they take post school.
A student’s ability to become successful in the real-world (and face the daily challenges presented in the workplace) weighs heavily on their ability to problem-solve and to think “outside the box”. Nova Pioneer offers the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) curriculum. The Cambridge Curriculum is challenging, yet flexible, and designed to teach students how to learn and to go on learning. The Cambridge curriculum is globally recognised for its rigour and high academic standards. It is developed and maintained by the University of Cambridge, a renowned institution with a long history of academic excellence.
Our role goes beyond helping students achieve good results, and beyond giving students passports for progression to university or employment. We give our students a curriculum that will bring lifelong success in tomorrow’s world.
Nova Pioneer has a track record of strong performance in the various Cambridge International Assessments, across Upper Primary through to A-levels. Our students have consistently exceeded international benchmarks and have been amongst the top performers in the world.
We are a school that creates a student-centred learning environment and our classroom norms create a culture where students know that their voice matters. We recognise that every student is different, with different learning styles, gifts and talents. We seek to recognise these in our planning of the lessons. We also place high value on close student-teacher collaboration, where we encourage the practice of reflection and feedback during lessons.
This increases our students’ self-confidence and contributes to their character development. Our aim is to develop students academically, emotionally and socially so that they are well-equipped to face the many challenges of the 21st Century.
In addition to the academic offering, Nova Pioneer has Hallmark Programming that is timetabled into the day for our students from Grade 7. This programming includes Innovation and Leadership class, that incorporates Social and Emotional learning.
In Innovation and Leadership, students progress from content that is about self discovery and understanding their purpose, to progressively looking outward to where they can take their mastery of self leadership to external communities - this could be the school community, their city or the continent at large. The aim of the programme is to have a coherent and consistent place for students to be exposed to self and community leadership, as well as root students in the sense of African history to inform future innovation and action.
We believe that sports, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities can positively affect students' focus, attitude, and academic success. We offer various clubs and sports, and provide opportunities for students to compete locally and against other Nova Pioneer schools.
Nova Pioneer’s Post School Success programme has been created with the purpose of facilitating each student’s exploration of post-secondary opportunities available to them.
This programme helps our students develop the life and pre-professional skills necessary to take advantage of post-school opportunities. Post-School Success programming begins in Grade 10, to ensure that each student has ample time to thoughtfully consider their next steps and take full advantage of the resources available through the Nova Pioneer network.
The character of a Novaneer is defined by our six Culture Principles - High Expectations, Always Growing, Servant Leadership, Joy of Learning, Greater Together and Solutions First. These are the mindsets and behaviours that reflect our values, and to which we aspire. They challenge our students to constantly stretch towards their best selves: to set high expectations, grow from every challenge, and seek to serve others over ourselves.
By exploring culture and integrating it as part of character development, our students take on daily challenges with a strong sense of purpose, service and innovation. Read more about our Culture Principles here.
