At Illovo Glen Private Primary School, we are passionate about developing children emotionally. We are intentional about equipping learners to become knowledgeable, responsible and caring adults.

There is a need for emotional intelligence and social emotional learning in schools and we have a program centred around this. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behaviour and manage or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one’s goals.

Emotional Intelligence is a key to both personal and professional success and having a high emotional intelligence level is crucial for our children in today’s world. They are faced with hundreds of decisions to make every day, they have to manage their emotions, handle the pressure of a fast-paced lifestyle, advances in technology, limited family time and so much more. By getting to know our emotions and being able to understand them, and those of others, we can have empathy and develop into leaders and world changers.

Illovo Glen Private Primary School values academics and offers education at a high standard. Our children are exposed to different learning styles (outdoor learning, structured learning, experiential learning and formal traditional methods of learning) so that they develop a sound understanding of the world around them and are able to succeed in an ever-changing and developing world.

We follow stipulated standards set out in the National Curriculum Statement documents by using the Impaq Maths, English and Life skills Curriculum. Here learners are provided with necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn Mathematics, Life skills and English in a meaningful way.

The Impaq learning system aims to help our children thrive in a fast-changing world. It is important to provide research-based Mathematics, Life skills and English education that will equip our learners with the 21st century skills necessary for a globalized economy.

At Illovo Glen Private Primary School we believe in the importance of family. We aim to foster a sense of belonging where Godly traditions and family values can be upheld and developed in our community. We aim to partner with parents and not replace their role in training up their children. We desire to equip parents on how to invest in their children’s lives and foster healthy family relationships.
