GRADE 2

VERNECULAR SUBJECTS GRD 2

At NationRise Academy, we proudly promote the teaching and preservation of South Africa’s rich linguistic heritage. Our vernacular language programs — including IsiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, and others — help learners connect deeply with their cultural identity while mastering communication in their mother tongue.

In the Foundation and Intermediate Phases, learners develop reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in their home language through interactive lessons, storytelling, and real-life conversations.

By learning in their mother tongue, learners gain better comprehension, cognitive development, and self-confidence, making it easier to grasp other academic subjects.

At NationRise, our mission is to ensure that every learner, regardless of language background, feels seen, valued, and empowered through language. We believe language is not just a subject — it’s a bridge to identity, culture, and excellence.
