Why the Future Begins in our Classrooms

We start at creche level 

From as young as 2 years of age, we believe in a strong academic foundation. Our full day creche offers education through activities. This allows children to play and learn. Through this we can help lay the foundation for a host of skills. From literacy to mathematics and life skills, our approach to learning is a formidable combination of the Botswana   Curriculum Framework and the  South  African Curriculum . 

A blend of essential education for life 

Although academic development is essential for every child, we happen to believe in skills that can be carried throughout their school careers and in later life as well. This includes the likes of:

• Mathematical and Scientific Thinking 
• Physical Creative and Aesthetic Development 
• Language Development and Early Literacy 
• Personal, Emotional and Social Development 
• Health, Nutrition and Safety

We believe in extra-curriculars 

Whilst driving learning in our classrooms is imperative to life at Gaborone International School, we know that extracurricular activities provide ample opportunities to learn too. In most incidences, these enable children to excel academically, whilst fostering a more holistic approach to development. With this in mind, our extramural programme means more chances to grow socially, creatively and even academically. This allows a host of skills to unfold that drive the success and independence of your child. Although we do not make these compulsory, they are highly encouraged. Activities include swimming, creative art, digital literacy and our Ready-to-Read programme.

Our educators are experienced 

At Gaborone International School, we only trust qualified and experienced teachers to nurture your child. This ensures a high quality of learning and excellent results overall. With our primary focus being on every child and how they learn best, our educators are dedicated to engaging with every individual in a way that meets their needs. We’ve also recruited teachers internationally for a high calibre of educators which results in a truly global education. Passion is also important to us and our candidates. This means that our teachers are enthusiastic and caring to give your child a positive start to their school years. 

We teach values too

Our academic curriculum is backed by our unique set of values. These are important for the development of each child as well as the legacy of our school. Our values include self-discipline, generosity and integrity. Through these, we can lead by example and encourage every child to uphold these values both at school and at home. The values we stand for can be seen at every level, from our creche through to primary and high school.
