The school is a government subsidized non-profit organization.  The school subsidy is insufficient and therefore it is mostly dependent on fund-raising events.  Specialized education is very costly because more remedial and adapted equipment is needed to enable these learners to reach their maximum potential.

​

Pretoria School is a BEE registered school providing for the cerebral palsied and physically disabled (congenital or post trauma) learners.

​

Teaching takes place by means of parallel medium in Afrikaans or English classes.  We also use direct and/or assistive and/or augmentative communication devices to open ways to ensure that learners that are speech impaired can partake in classroom activities.

​

Cerebral Palsied is in short, learners with various degrees of brain damage.  It is the result of an injury to the immature central nervous system.  Depending on the extent and the area of damage, different disabilities may occur.  Our learners include those with orthopaedic handicaps, like Spina Bifida, brittle bone, amputees, etc.

​

Because early intervention is very important to the disabled, the school also provides for baby evaluations and therapy resulting from this and takes place on a weekly basis a by a multi-professional team.

​

Our learners have the same dreams as other children, although it takes much more courage and perseverance to reach their goals.
