STEM CURRICULUM

Sayda STEM Curriculum is a forward-looking educational framework designed to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly technological and innovation-driven world. Grounded in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the curriculum integrates theory with hands-on, project-based learning to ensure that students not only understand core concepts but also know how to apply them to solve real-world problems.

FOUNDATION phase (STEM)

PROFESSIONALS IN THE MAKING!

Sayda Tutorial Institute embraces the framework of the National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement. Our Foundation Phase (Grades R-3), STEM subjects are integrated into existing subjects like Literacy, Numeracy, and Life Skills, rather than being taught as separate, distinct subjects. This means that concepts from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are introduced and developed through these core subjects, fostering foundational skills for later STEM learning.
