Intermediate Phase
Updated: Nov 3, 2025

Intermediate Phase — Grades 4 to 6

Age Group: Generally for children aged 9 to 12 years. Grades: Grades 4 to 6. Focus: Students build on skills from Foundation Phase with a stronger emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking across subjects like Mathematics, English, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.

“We help learners deepen their understanding through inquiry, projects and collaborative tasks that promote confident thinkers.” — Mr. J. Botha, Head of Intermediate Phase

Problem-solving and critical thinking in every lesson

Across Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences we embed tasks that develop reasoning, data interpretation and evidence-based explanations — preparing learners for deeper secondary learning.

Natural Sciences

Social Sciences

Inquiry projects that explore people, places and change.

Resource centre

Expanded library, reference materials and digital support.
