Crawford International Bedfordview

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme is an internationally recognised and rigorously integrated programme that aims to develop students as global citizens who choose to impact the world around them positively.

The programme places emphasis on universal development, and as such, is designed to develop students’ understanding of challenges and experiences of others locally and globally through continually exploring real-world issues. Our schools offer an enriched curriculum, incorporating technology to enhance the learning experience, a variety of option subjects and a focus on the arts. This allows our students every opportunity to develop holistically. In a vibrant, challenging, and enjoyable environment, we aim to teach independent thinking and inculcate habits of work and study that equip each student to succeed. We pride ourselves on the fact that we offer a wide variety of cultural enrichment and subject offerings. The inclusion of the arts and expanded language offerings, including English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and Italian among others (at a conversational and a formal level), aligns with our aim to provide a holistic education.

Experienced local and international teachers lead our programmes and tap into the inquiring minds of our future changemakers. We personalise the learning journey for each student as we mentor them towards making informed choices. Our locally and globally relevant learning makes us the school of choice, where ‘every child is a masterpiece’.
