    • Foundation School

    The Foundation School was officially established in 1995, as a response to the demand for specialised, learner-centred education for children coming from disadvantaged backgrounds as well as those with remedial needs. The school first emerged in 1989 as a small Saturday morning school in Joubert Park, run by founder and General Manager – Jackie Gallagher.

    The Foundation School, which is both independent and registered as a school for Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSEN), offers affordable, quality special needs education to learners unable to access specialised services, given the rising cost of remedial teaching and learning facilities. A combination of well trained, caring teachers, small classes and new era global programmes, ensure that all children benefit from learning and psychosocial support in creative ways across the school. The Foundation School is able to offer a holistic learning experience both through the adapted CAPS curriculum and vibrant cultural and sporting programmes for learners.

    Specialised Services available to our learners:

    • The Link Literacy Programme
    • Catrobatkidz – this includes important Occupational Therapy moves and activities to build learners coordination and muscle
    • Junior Jive
