To help Pupils accept and understand that all actions have consequences and that Pupils must take responsibility for their actions;

To encourage Pupils to take every moment of every day and live it to the best of their ability; to take what is stimulating and exciting about the world and make it a part of their own experience.

To Carpe diem - Seize the day!

We'll make sure your child is prepared for today's ever-changing world.

Aurora Private School is a highly successful, professional and dynamic private school that offers children extraordinary opportunities to prepare themselves, in terms of knowledge, confidence, values, security and capability to live out their lives as happy, effective and successful members of civil society in a rapidly changing world.

It is imperative that schools participate in the change that is taking place in today's world. For these reasons, we at Aurora Private School have made a significant change in terms of what is expected of a student at the school with regard to his or her academic future.

The focus of education at Aurora is on the individual, in small classes, where life skills, creativity and preparation for success in a fast moving world are vital. The curriculum is extensive. Academic, cultural, social and sporting programmes are included to develop a well rounded pupil.

In the high school, to ensure our pupils are a cut above the rest, we offer our HETC (Higher Education and Training Certificate) Programme which is underwritten by tertiary institutions. This provides the pupils with six accredited certificates on completion of their schooling careers, over and above their matric.

Our whole approach is geared towards producing personally capable, confident and pro-active young adults. We create a centre of learning where pupils can realize their full potential, by providing a comprehensive education of the highest standard.
