Our Educational Frameworks & Teaching Strategies
Introduction
Rabboni Christian School (RCS) introduced Projects Based Learning (PBL) as part of its curriculum in 2018 through a pilot project. The success of 2018 led to the school opening a second studio in 2019. Studio education is the process where learning happens on the principle of work by learning and learn by working. PBL focusses on creative thinking, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurial development and other 21st century skills.
PBL (Play-Based Learning)

Play-Based Learning is an educational approach that uses play as the central method through which children explore, learn, and make sense of the world around them. It’s not just “free play,” but rather structured, intentional play guided by educators to develop key skills and knowledge.
Play-based learning transforms education by seamlessly integrating educational concepts into play. Unlike traditional methods that treat games as supplementary, this approach blurs the boundaries between play and instruction. The entire educational experience becomes a dynamic play space, fostering curiosity and discovery.
PBL (PROJECT-BASED LEARNING)






Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic, student-centered teaching method in which learners acquire knowledge and skills by actively engaging in real-world and meaningful projects over an extended period of time.
Rather than learning through traditional instruction alone, students explore, investigate, and respond to complex questions, problems, or challenges that require critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. PBL integrates content and skills across multiple subjects, encouraging learners to apply what they know in authentic contexts. It is not simply a “project” at the end of a unit, but a comprehensive and structured learning experience where the project itself is the vehicle for deeper understanding.
Project-Based Learning purposefully addresses the gaps left by traditional teaching methods by actively developing Executive Functioning Skills—skills that are critically needed in today’s workforce. By engaging students in meaningful, real-world projects, this approach cultivates essential abilities such as problem-solving, time management, collaboration, adaptability, and self-regulation, equipping learners not just to succeed academically but to thrive in a dynamic, fast-changing world.
SwitchedOn Education (SOE)

To add value to this process RCS introduced SwitchedOn Education (SOE). SOE is an online Christian curriculum that is integrated with PBL and offers 2 international exit qualifications, thus making Rabboni a truly international school. SOE focusses on the mastering of concepts and concentrates on individualised and personalised learning interfaced with higher order thinking.
In 2023 Rabboni introduced a third international exit qualification through SOE and in Partnership with Pearson International in the form of a BTEC Advanced Level 3 Diploma. The BTEC qualification is a career directed study course preparing students for the marketplace as well aligning it with their choice of study at an Institute of Higher Education.
Our Three Academic Exits
1. Advanced High School Diploma
This international matric diploma is based on a 24-credit system where students already start to work for their exit in Gr 9. Each year they achieve 6 credits building towards their exit. Through SOE the student works on 5 basic subjects with the option of over 200 additional electives. This qualification is recommended at students that want to pursue careers in higher academic programs at university.

SwitchedOn Education is accredited by Cognia as an international digital, curriculum provider. Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).

3. GED (General Educational Development)
