Holistic education is at the heart of everything we do at Cordwalles. Through character-based learning, we encourage critical thinking skills and self-development to set boys up for success.
Our holistic approach is enabled by our world-class facilities, enriching curriculum, passionate staff, and the happy boys that make our school the supportive place it is.
In the classroom, Cordwalles offers an extremely well-structured and balanced academic programme. Our small classes and dedicated teachers ensure that every boy is given individual attention and encouraged to achieve his full potential.
We appoint specialist subject teachers for isiZulu, Drama, Information Technology, Music, Art, Design Technology, Physical Education, English, Mathematics, Natural Science, Social Science and Afrikaans. Specialist teachers are also employed to develop pupils’ Entrepreneurial skills, Music, and Speech and Drama.
In all that we do and all that we offer, Cordwalles aims to be a boy’s best foundation for life.
