Our students
Nova Pioneer is an independent school network that offers private school education, using the Cambridge Curriculum, an internationally accredited curriculum. Our Nova Pioneer Ruimsig Senior school brings a rigorous and innovative approach to education that focuses on developing each individual’s full potential. At Nova Pioneer, we share in our parents’ aspiration of preparing each child to enter the world with confidence and competence, ready to thrive and to contribute. We believe our learning approach prepares our students to lead and succeed post school. Nova Pioneer Ruimsig Senior is now accepting Grade 8 – 10 applications for 2025 and will be incubated at our current North Riding campus, thereafter moving to our Ruimsig campus in January 2025.

The school team
Since the beginning of 2017, Nova Pioneer has served families living in the Randburg area with a Pre-primary and Primary School – accepting children from 2 years old to Grade 7. We are excited to announce that we will extend our offering to families seeking quality private high school education beginning in 2023. In January next year, Nova Pioneer West Senior School will welcome the first Grade 8 class. The inaugural grade 8 class will join the current Upper Primary students at our North Riding Campus, in Jackal Creek, before moving to a newly built campus in Ruimsig in 2025. Our Nova Pioneer Ruimsig Senior School offers the Cambridge Curriculum, an internationally recognised curriculum. Cambridge qualifications are internationally recognised, opening doors for Nova Pioneer students to universities in South Africa and worldwide. We are proud to be one of a few South African schools that offer the Cambridge Curriculum.
What else do you need to know?
Grant Son, Nova Pioneer ParentI think the the community meetings the children have are fantastic. We as a family believe firmly that community awareness and community responsibility is one of the core fundamentals in society. Without a strong community, society in itself will fold. Therefore, the fact that Nova Pioneer encourages our children to be responsible and caring and giving, is probably the MOST noteworthy experience.
Joco Solomons, Nova Pioneer ParentWe decided on Nova Pioneer because we loved the concept of the enquiry-based learning as well as how the school is so committed to nurturing children into becoming young adults who think rigorously about the future of the world. My daughter has grown by leaps and bounds during her tenure at Nova Pioneer. She is very innovative and has become a go-getter which makes me so proud. Nova Pioneer is a great school.
Shaneel Nunkha, Nova Pioneer ParentThe small classroom sizes was what initially drew us to Nova Pioneer. The idea of our child receiving individual attention was an attractive offering. We have enjoyed the Friday Exploration day feedback sessions where parents get to interact with the students and get an understanding of what they do during the sessions and what they have learned throughout the term. The Nova Pioneer learning approached has had a positive influence on my child's curiosity, always questioning and trying to understand life skills.
