We are excited to announce that our new Midrand campus is taking shape. The new site is located on Third Road and is less than 250m from the current school campus. The new property will allow us more space for the grades that we will introduce each year.

“Due to the realities of Covid-19 and weeks of lockdown, development had been delayed. However, we are happy to announce that the Senior Primary grades will now move to the new campus in January 2021, we will also be growing into a Secondary School which we are extremely excited about,” says Jeanine Kerr, Head of School for Nova Pioneer Midrand. 

 

Construction is continuing at a fast pace

 

Campuses highlights include: 

  • A full-size sports field, a pool and a hardcourt which will extend our sports offering to all our students, including the lower grades who will remain on the Matuka campus
  • Our Matuka campus will become further specialised for younger grades
  • A science lab which will further develop our vision to grow innovation 
  • An Amphitheatre to assist in developing performing arts
  • More room for family events, such as picnics, concerts and fun days
  • The uniques layout allows for team teaching to enrich learning
  • A studio space that allows for small groups to work collaboratively outside their classroom but still under-cover
  • Airy interior with classrooms windows facing inwards onto the studio space, creating a sense of community and connection with other students
  • Breakaway classrooms for additional language teaching
  • A counselling room to facilitate the holistic care of our students, including their social and emotional wellbeing
  • Specialised playground equipment designed with the physical developmental needs of the upper primary student in mind

“The phase two building of our Secondary School which will be built shortly after phase one completion, will give our students the opportunity to complete their school careers using the Cambridge Curriculum. We look forward to having our students complete their entire career of schooling (Grade 000 to Grade 13) with us”, says Jeanine. 

The school’s academic team works very closely with the Nova Pioneer Property company in defining how the schools look and feel. The continuous collaboration between the two ensures that the buildings help facilitate the learning process for every Novaneer.

Nova Pioneer Midrand will include Grade 7 in 2021 and launch our inaugural Grade 8 class in 2022. For more information, contact our Midrand admissions team on admissions.midrand@novapioneer.com.
