| The
school is distinctive in that:
- tuition is provided in the oral-aural method rather than
in the manual (sign) system of communication. The children are
given the opportunity to learn to communicate in English, which
will enable them to succeed in both tertiary education and in
the work place one day.
- the oral-aural system of communication facilitates easier
transition to and from mainstream schools.
- it is a modern and progressive, co-educational school providing
an excellent standard of education from Grade R to Grade 12
on one campus in acoustically orientated buildings with high
illumination levels.
- it has small classes with a maximum of 10 children in a class,
allowing for individual attention and offers Speech Therapy,
free of charge to all Primary School learners.
- it is situated in the beautiful valley of Hout Bay near Cape
Town.
- it is proud of its excellent facilities, which are both modern
and comprehensive, including sports facilities, art rooms, a
gym and a concert hall, computer rooms and well-stocked libraries.
- it is fortunate to have a dedicated and highly qualified
staff that offers an outstanding quality of education following
the N.C.S. (National Curriculum Statement).
- it offers hostel facilities where much effort has been put
into creating a feeling of home for weekly boarders.
- it is governed by a School Governing Body, which includes
members elected by the parent body.
- it is closely connected with both the Tygerberg Hospital
Cochlear Unit and Carel Du Toit School and Parent Centre.
- it arranges transport to and from central Cape Town and Wynberg.
