Academic journey
Curriculum
A Curriculum That Develops the Whole Child. Our CAPS-based curriculum is delivered through the IEB framework, designed to grow capable, curious and grounded learners.
Our approach
Strong foundations, curious minds
Project Canaan Academy's curriculum is CAPS-based (the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) and delivered through the IEB framework, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking, inquiry-based learning and problem-solving across every subject. Music, Art, Physical Education and IT all receive dedicated focus alongside the core academic subjects, so every learner leaves with a genuinely well-rounded foundation.
