At Unicorn Preparatory School, our pupils are encouraged to think independently, show consideration towards others, and demonstrate fairness in all that they do. Unicorn inspires every boy and girl to live out our motto: Integrity.
There is a close tie between the Foundation Phase and Intersen Phase and continuous communication between these two departments ensures continuity throughout the school.
Intersen is a combination of INTERmediate and SENior Phases where Intermediate is Grade 4-6 and Senior is Grade 7.
Unicorn's highly experienced and enthusiastic teaching staff follow a comprehensive educational programme which is designed in line with the National Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) throughout the Intersen Phase.
We have 8 classes in the Intersen Phase as well as several specialised classrooms to make sure all learning areas are covered. These classrooms include a Media Centre and Library, a Science Lab, Computer Centre and Dedicated Robotics, Music and Art Classrooms.

Enrichment Opportunities
Our Intersen Phase children are encouraged to join various educational outings, tours and field trips arranged by the school every year.
These are organised to further enhance the holistic education we offer each child, as education is bigger than just the classroom. Parents will be advised of costs and arrangements well in advance.
We are proud of what Unicorn Preparatory School offers, and the fact that our pupils are highly sought after at high school level is an achievement that reflects the dedication of our entire school community.
