The Khanyisa School - introduction

Mission Statement and Approach

Khanyisa caters for children and young adults with learning difficulties, that cannot be met through remedial education alone.

We undertake to teach the children according to their age and stage of development based on the Waldorf educational principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner. Children progress at their own pace and level in literacy and numeracy. Emphasis is placed on academic as well as practical and life skills.

And in addition:-

to nurture the potential gifts and innate intelligence; and develop life skills of the growing person who cannot do so in mainstream education.

to provide a safe and healing space of learning and therapy through which human worth and dignity can be realised.

to work in an environment which affirms and supports the child, parents, teachers and therapists.
