We offer an alternative learning experience that allows children to develop to their full potential. GALC is a registered independent school (DOE EMIS No: 600105364 and 600105367) that offers full time tuition, as well as supplementary tuition for home schooled children and extra lessons for students from other schools. GALC also run camps, holiday programs and field trips that are open to outside
students as well. Our program includes practical, hands-on learning integrated with online resources and theoretical content. Classes are small to ensure individual attention is paid to each student. Group work is encouraged to build problem solving and people skills. We have remedial teachers to assist students with academic challenges. Although we are not specifically a special needs facility, we do accommodate children with learning difficulties. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying. Students of all ages interact and play together. Older students often guide and assist the younger ones in various activities. Conservation of our natural heritage forms the corner stone of our educational program. Children will grow up with the opportunity of interacting with Africa’s wildlife. Primary school students spend an hour each week doing Bush Craft. During Bush Craft they learn about the animals and plants around us, tracking and survival skills, conservation and anti-poaching, and spend time interacting with the animals on the farm. All students participate in practical classes both in the science and biology lab as well as in the field. Computer Science is offered as an elective senior subject. We believe strongly that the future lies in the hands of our children and it is our responsibility to equip them with the values, skills and knowledge to embrace the challenges facing our society and environment. Jenny Brooker and Rudy de Beer are the current Directors of the school and took over the management of the school in September 2019.
