What we offer

Where every child can shine.

Curriculum and academics

How we teach matters as much as what we teach.

Skye follows the South African national curriculum from Preparatory through High School, with an Independent Examinations Board (IEB) matric pathway: a nationally trusted and internationally accepted matric.

From Montessori-inspired foundations in the early years to classrooms built for thinking, making and doing, every stage is shaped by what we know about how children actually learn. Focused support in key subjects builds deep mastery, and critical thinking, creativity and collaboration run through it all.

Research-backed. Practically applied. Every day.

Culture and the arts

Room to find your voice.

Cultural clubs give students space to explore their talents and express themselves. They run on rotation, guided by what our students love. We also encourage outdoor and adventure activities, because confidence is built one small risk at a time.

Aftercare and holidays

Galaxy Club, out of this world.

Galaxy Club is our aftercare for Grade 1 to Grade 7, running until 17:30 with homework supervision, engaging activities, a light lunch and a snack.

Our Preschool Stay and Play programme mixes structured fun with care and enrichment. Full day Preschool already includes it, and Grade R families can add it from 14:00.

In the school holidays, our Holiday Club keeps children active and inspired, run by the Skye team from 07:00 to 17:30. It closes on public holidays and over part of the December and January break.

See it in action, in person.

Walkabouts run every week. Come and feel what a Skye day is like.
