Our mission is to unlock each student’s potential, providing them with top-tier education that prepares them to be active, contributing members of society. We welcome students aged 5-18 years.
Our pupils might face challenges stemming from low vision, cochlear implants, epilepsy, motor vehicle accidents, birth trauma, genetic disorders, dyslexia, medical conditions, or general developmental delays.

Isizwe Setjhaba Special School serves students from Grade R to Grade 6 who experience mild to moderate learning challenges and need specialized support. The school offers three distinct streams, catering to a diverse range of student abilities.
- The Remedial Stream – for students who can follow the regular school program at their grade level but do better in smaller classes with extra help.
- The Pre-Vocational Stream – for students who need a different type of teaching and might not be at the same level in every subject.
- The Skills Stream – for students who find schoolwork harder and learn best by doing hands-on projects. We have special courses called Differentiated CAPS
