In 1998, the first Curro School was opened in a church in Durbanville, Western Cape. At the time, Curro forged its beginning with 28 learners. Its network now consists of 66 153 learners, 6 245 employees, of which 3 651 are teachers, and 76 campuses (178 schools) across the country. The JSE-listed private education group recently sealed a deal to purchase HeronBridge College in the Fourways area in Johannesburg, adding to its ever-growing school footprint.

Curro currently offers schooling across nine education models, namely Curro Castle Nursery Schools, Curro Schools, Curro Academy Schools, Curro Select Schools, Curro Assisted Learning, Curro DigiEd Schools, Curro Private College, Meridian Schools and Curro Online.
