The Foundation School was established in 1995 as a response to the demand for specialised, learner-centred education for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with remedial needs. The school emerged in 1989 as a small Saturday morning school in Joubert Park, run by founder and General Manager – Jackie Gallagher. The Foundation School, independent and registered as a school for Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSEN), offers affordable, quality special needs education to learners unable to access specialised services, given the rising cost of remedial teaching and learning facilities. The Foundation School can offer a holistic learning experience through the adapted CAPS curriculum and vibrant cultural and sporting programmes for learners. A combination of well-trained, caring teachers, small classes and new-era global programmes ensure that all children benefit from learning and psychosocial support in creative ways across the school. The Foundation School provides additional support to learners through stimulating activities to enhance knowledge, build skills and instill the school’s values.
