YOU'RE ONE OF A KIND.
SO ARE WE!
Amedeo College follows a Mainstream Curriculum enriched by the Cambridge Syllabus.
​
We understand that children develop at different rates, with different methods of assimilating knowledge, and develop their preferential learning style. All of our Teachers at Amedeo are keenly aware of this and adapt their lessons and teaching accordingly.
​
Amedeo College has a creative approach to building a curriculum that exceeds the requirements of the statutory CAPS syllabus. With our well-equipped and qualified staff, we enrich our CAPS syllabus with a creative Cambridge Curriculum where we cross-link all subjects. Amedeo offers a curriculum that has a clear educational purpose, is delivered with imagination, and has measurable educational value.
Critical Thinking Techniques are taught & have the power to launch learners on an unforgettable learning experience while helping them develop new habits of Thought, Reflection & Inquiry.
At Amedeo, we teach how critical thinking is focused, careful analysis of something to better understand it. These 21st-century learning skills are often called the 4 C's: Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Communicating, and Collaborating. We place teaching emphasis on these skills to help our students learn, and we demonstrate how vital these skill sets are to success in school and beyond.
At Amedeo, we offer an assisted learning environment that provides an educational experience that is unique to your child, in a nurturing setting. We ensure that each child retains and in some cases regains their self-esteem both personally and academically. With our small class sizes, Amedeo is well-equipped to deliver high-quality education that ensures that all our students are valued, encouraged, and respected. A major benefit of small class sizes is that it guarantees a high level of quality teacher-pupil interaction.
Amedeo College was founded with one purpose - to build a space for all our learners to grow, learn and create with each passing day. Through our unique teaching approach and truly passionate staff, we help learners develop academically and personally to the highest level.
​
The Amedeo Preparatory and High School offer a unique and progressive approach to education for students with learning potential but who are finding the learning process challenging.
Change and improvement in the classroom are not simply a topic we cover at Amedeo College, we stimulate change and activate learning by assisting our students to uncover information for themselves. Our success has been largely achieved by our methodology and the way we teach and encourage learning in our classrooms.
​
Technology is a perfect vehicle for facilitating this. But, at Amedeo, this isn’t just about learning how to use technology or even teaching with technology tools, it is about our students creating and constructing with technology.
Together we build a powerful culture of creativity that is without boundaries.
