Hi, my son has been at this great school for about 3 years. He has two forms of dyslexia, so normally, children like him would have to go to a remedial school. But due to the one-on-one attention he gets and the personal pace the teachers set his work at, he is now not only passing with good marks, he is confident and happy. It is also a pleasure to him go to school with a smile! Thank you Sarah, Raza and Lydia!

I can't thank the teachers at this school enough for their relentless effort, patience and one-on-one attention. My son, who used to whine and hate school, has flourished emotionally and academically during the last two years that he has been attending. I attribute that to the incredibly warm and nurturing environment the educators have created and I want to say a huge thank you Sarah and her team!

My son Kurt started at the centre when he was 6 and is still there, he is now 10, my other son started from this year, he is 6. It is a relaxed, yet strict schooling atmosphere, the teachers give wonderful one on one attention to the children and constant communication is kept with the parents. Wonderful option if you want your child to reach their full academic potential.

I hope you are well, and that your daughter is enjoying her new school. I’d like to address some of the issues you raise:
1. You said that we are a Jehovah’s Witness school, you were never told and that your daughter was very unhappy here with us. Firstly, the fact that your daughter was unhappy was never raised as a concern; the days that she came in for tuition she always seemed happy and interacted well with the other learners. As to the statement that everyone is a Jehovah’s Witness, that is false, currently 2/3’s of our learners are not witnesses, although I am a Witness, the other 2 members of our staff are Christian and Hindu. Religion has nothing to do with the education that takes place here at the centre. We are non-denominational, there is no religious education of any kind practiced, no assemblies or prayers.
2. Your review says that we are overpriced babysitters who do not teach our learners. I respect that you have the right to your opinion and to write the review as you see it. When your daughter started with us she had already missed a month of school. We tried our best to get her up to date with the work. I personally gave her extra maths lessons for free. She had only spent 30 lesson days with us when we received an email saying that she had been accepted into a mainstream high school and would be leaving. We had continuous correspondence regarding any concerns we both had and we parted ways amicably. I believe results speak louder than words and our students are doing very well and showing improvement in their results since joining us, we have even had a learner come in the top 10 for Brainline Grade 8, term 1 and 2. If you wish to communicate further, please feel free to do so.

This is a School for Jehovah's Witnesses. Everyone including the owner is a Jehovah's Witness. My child was extremely unhappy at this school and the owner conveniently forgot to let us know this when I asked about the school culture when I visited the school to make a decision. Also pricing is high for a place that literally babysits kids during school hours as you will need to teach your child on your own using videos etc.
