St Helier Academy of Learning

10 learners) of their peers, is what we practice. Although we follow the CAPS curriculum, we strive to ready learners for the practical needs of everyday life, that are fundamental to functioning within our society, while at school and beyond. We believe that, every learner matters. Teaching within our school focuses on an inclusive, creative and hands on approach to learning, where every lesson is carefully thought out to meet the learning styles of each individual learner. Quoting Ignacio Estrada — “if a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”

Currently we do not offer an extra curricular program but as we grow we are hoping to provide this to our learners. Our ultimate aim is to offer an alternative to the model C schooling from Grade R to Grade 9, where if they would like to complete their Matric they are able to rejoin mainstream schooling. We on the other hand will provide vocational / tech based learning from Grade 10 to Grade 12, where learners will be able to gain access to apprenticeships and gain their accredited vocational qualifications through us.
