Foundation Phase

At Ridgeland Education, our Foundation Phase program is designed to give students in Grades 1 to 3 the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in both academics and life. This stage builds a strong base in literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving, while also fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love of learning.

Our approach balances structured lessons with opportunities for exploration and collaboration. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, work independently, and engage in meaningful group activities. Beyond academics, we place a strong emphasis on social skills, emotional wellbeing, and personal responsibility — preparing every child for a successful transition into the Intermediate Phase.
