Curro Foreshore (City Of Cape Town)

Curro Foreshore. Sitting in the City Bowl like they own the place, probably looking at the mountain every day and charging you for the view. R80,484 for Grade R. Grade R. Your child is five years old, eating glue and learning to share, and you are paying eighty grand for that privilege. That is not school fees, that is a ransom note. And then by the time they hit Grade 12 the fees actually DROP to R44,118, which means Curro looked at matric students and thought, "ag, these ones are almost done, give them a discount." The real money is in the tiny ones who cannot complain yet. Now let us talk about this ratio. 875 learners, 36 educators. That is 24 kids per teacher. In the City Bowl. In a private school. Where you are paying the GDP of a small town per year. Bru, for those fees the teacher should know your child's blood type and their favourite colour. Instead, little Jayden is just a face in a crowd of 24, trying to get attention while Table Mountain sits there judging everyone. To be fair, the location is genuinely elite, right in the heart of Cape Town, close to everything, probably has a rooftop view that makes the fees feel almost worth it. Almost. Overall verdict: Curro Foreshore is what happens when a school looks at Cape Town's most expensive real estate and thinks, "yes, and we will charge accordingly", but the kids probably turn out sharp, so fine, respect.
