CAPS Curriculum

AcademicExcellence

A rigorous, nationally aligned curriculum delivered by passionate educators — building strong foundations from Grade 1 through to Grade 7.

Our Approach

Building Strong Foundations,
Inspiring Bright Futures.

At Beloved Academy, we proudly follow the South African CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) curriculum. Our structured, phase-based approach ensures that every learner builds a solid academic foundation before progressing to the next level.

We currently offer education across three phases: the Foundation Phase (Grades 1-3), the Intermediate Phase (Grades 4-6), and the Senior Phase entry point at Grade 7. Each phase is carefully designed to develop learners academically, socially and spiritually.
