Nurturing for a brighter future
The Future starts here
Children who are now attending preschools and early primary school will find, by the time they are entering the job market (2030 – 2045) a vastly different scenario then what we are seeing today. Automation, robots and artificial intelligence will have taken over most of the traditional jobs as we know them today. They are no steady carriers anymore. Technology and science will develop in such a pace that constantly upgrading and relearning will be the norm. Most job opportunities in the future will be on the computer or similar device. Carriers will be mostly in science, technology, development and the service industry
Our Mission
We are agreeing with professor Tshilidzi Marwala, vice-chancellor at UJ, that the two most important subjects in the future are a good foundation in English and mathematics, since this are the subject essential for programming, coding and science. Our mission is that we are focusing especially of these two subjects. We at IKs are not bound to the traditional ways of education only but keeping ourselves informed with the technologies advances as they are happening and also what futurists predicting about the future. Our program will accordingly be moulded.
We started already using tablets. We have trial run with the children to see which programs are best suited for the different ages. From 2023 we will use tablets extensively. We will have programs for 3-4 years old, for 4-5 years old.
Also, from 2023 we will start with robotics and coding for 4 to 5 year old. Since this will become part of the curriculum in schools from grade R to grade 3 in the same year.
For parents who have to work also on Saturdays and Sundays we are offering part time nursing for Saturday and Sunday. Also for parents who are working nightshift or who have to attend a function we offer sleep over for their children.
The Guidence
We are guided by Christian principles. Daily devotion and biblical education will remind us of every day that we are putting our trust and hope in our creator. We want to teach the children in God’s word and give them a kick start in Christian values.
Support & Respect
While there is a great drive for competitiveness between learners, there is the need that children are supporting each other and respect the different gifts of the next learner.
And also, to embrace diverse backgrounds and cultures of the fellow student.
It is our aim to lead our young ones to work in teams and helping each other. Also since bulling in schools is a big problem, children have to learn in a very young age of acceptance, tolerance and sharing.
