WELCOMEThank you for your interest in Beautiful Minds.
We are very excited to share with you ourvision for education, one which we believetakes the best of traditional education and
sheds many of its less effective structures thatso often hinder academic, and personal
development.
There is so much that traditional approachesto education do well, but the lack of
individualised attention, large classes, limitedcurriculum content, high-stakes testing, andoverall lack of soft skill development, meansthat more often than not, a large traditional
school is simply not the best learningenvironment for a wide range of students.
Over the last 9 years, we have obsessivelyworked to refine a model of learning that
would both challenge, and stretch each of thestudents whilst still deeply respecting their
individuality, emotional backgrounds, beliefs,and views of the world.
CURRICULUM
Our classes cover Grade 1 to Grade 12. A CAPS-
Compliant Home School Curriculum is used, which is
affiliated to SACAI, the Accredited Assessment Body
governing the National Senior Certificate (NSC)
exam.
Our Grade 12 learners write the National Senior
Certificate (NSC) Matric Examination – alongside all
other traditionally-schooled matriculants across the
country.
Universities also readily accept learners who have
matriculated through the mentioned Home School
curriculum.
