Exceptional Primary Education in Bedfordview

At our Reddam House Bedfordview Preparatory school, we provide children from Grades 1 to 7 with a well-rounded and challenging education, following a rigorous curriculum designed to ensure that they are building strong foundations for academic success.

For children in our junior preparatory school (Grades 1 to 3) we start by discovering your little one's passions and natural abilities. The curriculum implemented at the BCC Campus encompasses every facet of school life. We work within the guidelines of the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) and the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) as a framework, with some additions including: Singapore Mathematics; Languages; Arts and Culture; Physical Education; Computing; Life Skills; and a wide variety of extracurricular activities - both sporting and cultural. Our curriculum has been designed to provide exposure to a wide range of subjects, developing a broad skill base that is a vital part of our holistic approach to education.

Our senior preparatory school (Grades 4 to 7) is where we begin to take learning to the next level, introducing more complex ideas and instilling in our students a sense of pride, responsibility, honesty and integrity. Teachers maintain high standards, and students begin to understand that education is an investment in their future and an opportunity for personal growth and development, as well as academic achievement. At our preparatory school, students build on their already broad skill base and begin to prepare for the subjects that they will study in Grades 8 to 12.
