We offer personalized, individual education to vulnerable youth. As a special needs school, our learners enjoy individual attention. We have small classes, with the support of international and local volunteers, who assist the teachers with the problematic learners in each class.

This is conducive to a trusting learning environment, allowing our age-disadvantaged learners to participate in class, safe from the ridicule they would receive had they attended a main-stream classroom with learners who are two / three years younger than they are.

Youth who would otherwise be at home or on the streets are enrolled and are aiming for Grade 12! Our school has become indispensable in the community. The learners who attend our school would have nowhere else to go in order to complete their education.  Our school has expanded to offer grade 10 -12, making it possible for those youth, who would never be able to complete their schooling, to finish it in this specialised environment.

We are unique in that we accept youth of all ages and backgrounds without prejudice, including those under house arrest, those previously incarcerated, youth with children of their own, youth who have been on the streets, in short - any youth who chooses to complete their education as opposed to going back to a life of crime, unemployment and poverty!

We could not be doing anything more significant for South Africa today. Our learners may be former street children, rehabilitated drug addicts or come from abusive, neglectful homes. Some are simply in need of a nurturing, family-like environment in order to complete school successfully. Many of our learners come from different childcare institutions and homes for older youth.
