Known personally
Every learner brings different strengths, questions and ways of understanding. Teachers have more opportunity to know the learner, not only the marks.

Grade 7 enrolment for 2027 · Birch Acres, Kempton Park
Grade 7 is the bridge between primary school and the greater demands of high school.
At Addnum, smaller classes give teachers more opportunity to understand each learner and help them build the confidence, understanding and independence they will need next.
Meet the teachers. See the classrooms. Ask every question.
Prepared for more
Build stronger understanding in core academic areas, with the support to apply ideas when learning becomes more demanding.
Hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics experiences help learners solve problems, test ideas and make what they imagine.
Project-based challenges help learners spot opportunities, develop ideas, collaborate and turn solutions into something they can explain.

Before Grade 8
Your child may be moving up each year. But are they gaining the confidence, understanding and independence they will need in high school?
Grade 8 brings more subjects, greater responsibility and a faster pace. Grade 7 gives learners a valuable year to prepare before those expectations increase.
This is not about placing more pressure on a child. It is about giving them the right environment to grow into what comes next.
Prepare in Grade 7, before Grade 8 raises the stakes.
Personal attention
In a smaller class, it becomes easier to notice the question a learner does not ask, the concept they have not fully understood and the ability they have stopped showing.
More personal attention helps teachers understand how each learner participates, where they need support and when they are ready to be challenged further.

Every learner brings different strengths, questions and ways of understanding. Teachers have more opportunity to know the learner, not only the marks.
Areas that need attention can be identified earlier, while there is still time to strengthen understanding and confidence.
A more personal environment gives learners room to ask questions, contribute ideas and become active participants in their education.
A year that matters
The goal is not simply to enter Grade 8. It is to enter Grade 8 ready to participate, adapt and keep growing.

01
Learners need more than correct answers. They need to understand ideas well enough to apply them when the work becomes more demanding.
02
Confidence grows when a learner feels safe enough to ask, attempt, make mistakes and try again.
03
Grade 7 is an opportunity to strengthen organisation, responsibility and the habits required to manage a heavier workload.
04
High school expects learners to take greater ownership of their work. That independence should be developed before it is demanded.

Prepared for more
Addnum’s learner-centred approach develops academic understanding alongside the personal and practical abilities learners need beyond the classroom.
Academic foundations · STEM
Learning experiences in STEM, language development and other core academic areas help learners develop stronger understanding.
Entrepreneurship
Learners are encouraged to think like makers and problem-solvers: spot a need, develop an idea, build something, explain it and learn from what happens.
Future-facing learning
Coding, robotics and project-based learning connect classroom knowledge to the world learners are preparing to enter.
Communication, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and collaboration help learners become more capable and confident, globally minded and rooted in African identity.
