Amedeo College: Nurturing Individual Learning Styles with a Creative Curriculum

Our curriculum approach goes beyond the requirements of the statutory CAPS syllabus and incorporates a creative Cambridge Curriculum that cross-links all subjects. With our qualified and well-equipped staff, we deliver a curriculum that is purposeful, imaginative, and measurable.

Exploring the Importance of Critical Thinking with Amedeo College

​

At Amedeo, we believe that critical thinking is a crucial component of focused, careful analysis. More than ever, these 21st-century learning skills have become increasingly essential to success in school and beyond. Known as the "4 C's," they include Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Communicating, and Collaborating. That's why we put such a strong emphasis on teaching these skills to our students and demonstrating their importance in real-world situations.

Discovering Personalized Learning at Amedeo

​

Amedeo provides a unique and supportive learning environment that caters to your child's individual needs. We make sure that each child is nurtured, both personally and academically, and regains their self-esteem. With small class sizes, every student at Amedeo receives high-quality education while being valued, encouraged and respected. One of the most significant advantages of small class sizes is that it guarantees high-quality interaction between teachers and students.

Enhancing Classroom Learning at Amedeo College with Technology

At Amedeo College, we not only discuss change and improvement in education but also actively stimulate it by guiding our students to discover information on their own. Our methodology and teaching approach have been fundamental to our success in achieving this goal.

​

Technology plays a crucial role in this endeavor as it provides an ideal platform for facilitating learning. However, we go beyond simply teaching students how to use technology tools; at Amedeo, we encourage them to create and construct with technology.
