PRE SCHOOL
If knowledge is power, then the empowerment of its students can best be achieved through the loving, dedicated effort of its educators.
“The average teacher teaches, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, but the great teacher inspires.”
We strive to educate and guide children toward independent adulthood ensuring that they realise their full potential, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We further create a disciplined environment in which children are happy and secure as they explore their world.
Our students should benefit from a high level of motivation and achievement, with reference to their personal abilities. We equip our students with an advantage revealed in their leadership to produce the best results. It is therefore, with a sense of inspiration, dedication and love that the staff at Avianto Estate Private School are privileged to be entrusted with the greatest contribution to the future, namely the children of the parents we serve.
We, at Avianto Estate Private School, create just a little piece of heaven.
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Our Primary School is the place where each child is given the opportunity to discover who he or she is. Our curriculum is structured, following CAPS as set out by the Department Of Basic Education, and enhanced to allow each child to develop into the best individual that they can be.
In the Foundation Phase (Grade 1-3) we focus on establishing core skills needed for success in Mathematics, reading for understanding and writing. Our children experience real world examples in a modern day context, to allow them to understand the relevance of what they are learning. They can express themselves in various forms of creativity, allowing each child to develop at their own pace within our guided framework.
In the Intermediate and Senior Phase (Grade 4-7) we have a greater focus on academic vigour and an understanding of the balance between success and effort. Each child is given the opportunity to develop leadership skills and is given different experiences through this phase, allowing for coaching to benefit everyone and not just a select few children in Grade 7. The understanding of “it’s cool to be me” is a key focus area, which allows each child to understand that you are unique in your own way and that accepting oneself is critical in the process of being accepted by others.
We strive to educate and guide children to independent adulthood ensuring that they realise their full potential, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We further create a disciplined environment, in which children are happy and secure as they explore their world.

Vision of Avianto Private School
To provide a safe, respectful and welcoming environment, where staff and children from diverse cultures collaborate to develop new skills with which they can equip themselves, to effectively meet the challenges of an ever changing world. It is in this way that we will become active, productive and responsible leaders of society.
We strive always to nurture the unique skills and abilities of each child, respecting individuality while instilling confidence, self-assurance and independance, so as to ensure the quality of our future leaders.
OUR VALUES
We offer a warm and inclusive family atmosphere, creating a happy and dynamic environment in which every child can strive to reach their true potential at all times. Our whole ecosystem is molded around our core values, which govern our daily lives:
Diversity – as our school is a microcosm of society, it is imperative that we follow an all inclusive approach to everything that we do and stand for. We therefore, create space in our daily timetable for discussions to take place, for us to learn and understand our differences and worldviews, in order to instill a culture of mutual respect, respect for others, but also for ourselves.
Community – Our community not only includes everyone who is part of our school, children, staff and parents, but also the people around us who share our world. We pride ourselves on making an impact in every area with which we engage.
Individuality – Understanding ourselves and the value that we can add to our community. Trying new things and showing courage in our thinking and actions. Participating in the formation of a value system that celebrates who we are as individuals, yet fascilitates the effective functioning of society.
Excellence – We strive towards excellence in everything that we do and aspire to be. Instilling excellence into ourselves and our community will allow us to remain local, yet compete on a global scale in our thinking and our delivery at school and beyond.
