Our Curriculum

We offer a holistic approach to learning that caters to learners’ learning difficulties and aims to offer support and use research-supported methodologies that help children become independent and acquire essential academic and daily living skills.

At Lead Future, we understand that communication is a fundamental part of learning and a skill that needs to be easily mastered and used by every learner. We promote the use of AAC devices and methods in classrooms and around the school. No learner should be without their “voice” every minute of their day.

 

Classes

Learners will be grouped according to their learning needs with an age variance of +/- 2 years. Classes will have between 8-10 learners in a class depending on their support needs and each class will have a qualified teacher and a teaching assistant.

We run two parallel curriculums for learners between the ages of 7-14 years of age

DCAPS (Differentiated CAPS CURRICULUM)

Learners will learn 6 subjects

  • Maths

The level at which a learner takes these subjects is dependent upon their skills, therefore no grading system can be accurately used due to splinter skills in some cases
