Welcome to Anchor Independent Academy & Hotty Totty ECD
"Stability through education"
About us
Classrooms
15 children per teacher.
A successful strategy resulting in a smooth and focused growth of building our children’s character and integrity to a high standard.
We believe that early education lays the foundation for lifelong learning.
Our approach is holistic – we aim not only to develop the academic abilities of our learners but also to nurture their social, emotional, physical and creative growth.
Education
The school incorporates South Africa’s CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement). Teachers make use of the syllabus as a guideline. They then incorporate their own methods of teaching the daily program
The crucial stage, spanning Grades 4-7 marks a significant and exciting transition for our learners. It’s where the foundational skills acquired in the Foundation Phase are deepened and expanded upon, laying the essential groundwork for more complex learning in the Senior Phase.
Opened in 2019, Anchor Independent Academy is an exclusive private school. Our core differentiating factor is our policy of only allowing 15 children per teacher. A successful strategy resulting in a smooth and focused growth of building our children’s character and integrity to a high standard.
This aids the opportunity to structure discipline and integrity in our children at an early stage, carrying the school’s name to a worldwide standard throughout their future. This can also be seen in their speech, how they present themselves in their communities and social sector.
How we work
The foundation phase is the key to a brighter future. A new grade is to be introduced with each year as our current class graduates into a higher grade. Physical, emotional and intellectual strength, we focus on the requirements in development of learners.
Through games and activities, our mission is to see children experience childhood with and without technology. Thus developing their thinking and social skills.
We build self-discipline, motivation and excellence in children and parents. In so doing, teaching them to take ownership of their lives and choices. Teachers and parent involvement is of utmost importance in assistance to a brighter future.
