In line with Curro Holdings’ ongoing expansion strategy, six new schools will start construction this year and are set to open in 2019. These include:
Curro Castle Burgundy Estate

Curro Holdings CEO, Andries Greyling, is optimistic about the developments and believes the new schools will ensure high academic standards while remaining cost-sensitive.
Commenting on the new developments, Greyling notes, “Curro Holdings has its sight firmly fixed on our target of having 80 independent schools by 2020 in its stable – thus aiming to accommodate 80,000 learners in 2021. Construction of these six new schools brings us one step closer to our expansion goal.”
Greyling further adds, “With education being one of the cornerstones of society, an expansion of this nature is one of the best investments one can make in a child’s future.”
