Who We Are -What We Do

The Foundation Phase at St John the Baptist Catholic School builds on the strong start our learners receive in Grade 0 & R. In Grades 1 to 3, children continue their journey in a caring, supportive, and Christ-centered environment where they are encouraged to reach their full potential.

Our dedicated teachers focus on developing key skills in LiteracyNumeracy, and Life Skills, while also nurturing each child’s faith, character, and self-confidence. We believe that every child learns in their own unique way, and we provide a balance of structured lessons, interactive learning, and play to ensure meaningful progress.

In the Foundation Phase, we:

  • Foster a love for reading, writing, and problem-solving
  • Build strong numeracy and mathematical understanding
  • Promote social, emotional, and spiritual growth
  • Integrate Catholic values through daily prayer, Gospel reflections, and community outreach
  • Encourage creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity

Learners are guided not only to academic success but also to develop compassion, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. The Foundation Phase is where children begin to discover their strengths, build lasting friendships, and grow closer to God.
