Foundation Phase

Langerugskool

Foundation Phase

Grade 3

Langerug School follows a holistic approach to the support of our learners. Parents, doctors, therapists and educators should be aware of early signs indicating that learners may need special intervention from an early age. Early identification and intervention are extremely important.
Currently Langerug School only accepts learners from grade 3, but grade 1 and 2 learners may also be admitted should there be enough applications.

Support

Smaller class groups (maximum 12) follow an adapted and inclusive mainstream curriculum (CAPS) that allows for individual attention to learners.
A holistic approach by a multidisciplinary auxiliary team.
