What makes us different?
At Lantern School, we specialise in supporting learners from Grade 1 to 12 who experience specific learning barriers. As a dual-medium remedial school, we offer instruction in both English and Afrikaans, following the mainstream GDE CAPS curriculum. Our goal is to help learners achieve the necessary progress to reintegrate into mainstream education when appropriate.

We maintain small class sizes to ensure personalised attention and tailored support for each learner. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards, and many also feature FM systems to enhance auditory learning by projecting the teacher’s voice clearly. Our holistic approach includes dedicated learning support, as well as access to speech and occupational therapy at the primary level. Both primary and high school learners benefit from the guidance of on-site psychologists, ensuring emotional and academic well-being.
At Lantern School, we are committed to unlocking each learner’s full potential in a supportive and enriched learning environment.
Wat maak ons anders?
By Lantern Skool spesialiseer ons in die ondersteuning van leerders van Graad 1 tot 12 wat spesifieke leerhindernisse ervaar. As ’n dubbelmedium remediërende skool bied ons onderrig in beide Engels en Afrikaans aan, volgens die hoofstroom GDO-KABV-kurrikulum. Ons doel is om leerders te help om die nodige vordering te maak sodat hulle, waar gepas, weer in die hoofstroomonderwys geïntegreer kan word.

Ons handhaaf klein klasgroottes om persoonlike aandag en aangepaste ondersteuning vir elke leerder te verseker. Klaskamers is toegerus met slim-borde, en baie bevat ook FM-stelsels om ouditiewe leer te verbeter deur die onderwyser se stem duidelik te projekteer. Ons holistiese benadering sluit toegewyde leerondersteuning in, asook toegang tot spraak- en arbeidsterapie op primêre vlak. Beide laer- en hoërskoolleerders trek voordeel uit die leiding van aanlyn-psigoloë op die terrein, wat emosionele en akademiese welstand ondersteun.
By Lantern Skool is ons daartoe verbind om elke leerder se volle potensiaal te ontsluit in ’n ondersteunende en verrykte leeromgewing.

Ons streef daarna om ’n lewendige leeromgewing te kweek wat betrokkenheid aanmoedig en ’n dieper begrip van die leerinhoud bevorder.

Beide laer- en hoërskoolleerders het ook toegang tot psigoloë op die terrein, wat verseker dat hulle die emosionele en sielkundige sorg ontvang wat hulle benodig.

Partnership of Support
At Lantern, we believe learning is most powerful when parents, caregivers, and teachers work together. A strong partnership between home and school provides the support every child needs to grow—both academically and emotionally. When families are involved, children gain confidence, build positive attitudes toward learning, and take meaningful steps forward—at their own pace.
Why it matters
Research shows that home-school partnerships:
- Create a sense of belonging and security
- Reinforce learning beyond the classroom
- Encourage open communication
- Celebrate each child’s unique progress
We’re focused on strengthening our connection with families through:
- Clear Communication:
