At Acacia Junior School, we aim to help children develop skills, concepts, knowledge and attitudes through a broad and balanced curriculum which is relevant to modern day society. Therefore, Acacia Junior School’s curriculum is derived from the new Primary and Secondary Education System Reform of Zimbabwe (2016-2020)
Our primary emphasis is on teaching the basic skills since everything which follows depends upon the mastery of these.
The core curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2 comprises:
Infant School (from ECD to Grade 2)
