Our Learning Approach
Nova Pioneer is an independent, co-educational school network. In November 2018, Nova Pioneer acquired a Boksburg based pre-school, Stepping Stones, which underwent a process of gradual transition to Nova Pioneer. Our Nova Pioneer Boksburg Campus offers private school education, using an internationally accredited curriculum, and delivers it through an enquiry-based learning model.
The school currently accepts children ranging from 2 years to Grade 7 into Pre-Primary and Primary.

Our Boksburg Campus
Nova Pioneer Boksburg Primary offers private school education, using an internationally accredited curriculum, and delivers it through an enquiry-based learning model. Classes are hands-on and interactive, and classrooms are student-centered, which means that the teacher guides the student to discover solutions themselves, rather than simply telling a student how to solve the problem. This learning approach leads to a richer understanding of concepts and ensures our students feel empowered and prepared to lead.

Joco Solomons, Nova Pioneer ParentWe decided on Nova Pioneer because we loved the concept of the enquiry-based learning as well as how the school is so committed to nurturing children into becoming young adults who think rigorously about the future of the world. My daughter has grown by leaps and bounds during her tenure at Nova Pioneer. She is very innovative and has become a go-getter which makes me so proud. Nova Pioneer is a great school.

Grant Son, Nova Pioneer ParentI think the the community meetings the children have are fantastic. We as a family believe firmly that community awareness and community responsibility is one of the core fundamentals in society. Without a strong community, society in itself will fold. Therefore, the fact that Nova Pioneer encourages our children to be responsible and caring and giving, is probably the MOST noteworthy experience.

Shaneel Nunkha, Nova Pioneer ParentThe small classroom sizes was what initially drew us to Nova Pioneer. The idea of our child receiving individual attention was an attractive offering. We have enjoyed the Friday Exploration day feedback sessions where parents get to interact with the students and get an understanding of what they do during the sessions and what they have learned throughout the term. The Nova Pioneer learning approached has had a positive influence on my child's curiosity, always questioning and trying to understand life skills.
