Open Air School’s staffing structure differs considerably from mainstream schools: Due to the diverse nature of our learners, we need to employ specialist staff and educators. Headed by the principal, Ms Sayanna, the dedicated staff at Open Air School strive to provide specialised support to the learners, so that each one of them can fulfil his/her potential. Our goal is to ensure that learners leave school as confident, proactive members of society.
Our learners follow a normal academic curriculum, with educators employing innovative and imaginative methods to adapt to the diverse needs of the learners. Primary instruction is in English. Learners can choose either Afrikaans or Zulu for their second language option.
We also offer three skills-based training classes for the learners who need to learn skills rather than achieve academically.
