About Us

Belvedere School provides for learners with special scholastic needs and
learning disabilities.

We are passionate about the upliftment and empowerment of learners within a
special school setting.

At Belvedere we offer three independent scholastic streams:

• The TOC (Technical Occupation Curriculum) for learners from Year 1 to Year 4. Learners engage in academic classes and practical centres. Year 4 is an exit level at the school and is equal to a NQF level 1.
• The practical centres are hairdressing, cooking and office administration (for girls) and woodwork, welding and agriculture (for boys).
• As part of our exit level, we offer two World of Work centres (WOW).
  1) Forklifting and Working on Heights training and;
  2) The Bell Pepper Studio where learners are registered by the Chefs association of South Africa and complete numerous accredited courses.
• Belvedere School also offers FET (Further Education and Training), Grade 10 -12, as an option to learners who pass Year 4. It is important to remember that FET is the same curriculum followed as mainstream education but with only five subjects. This allows our learners to have more time per subject and allows them the opportunity to learn in smaller classes. The five subject Grade 12 is called an ‘endorsed matric certificate’.
• Belvedere school offers the DCAPS curriculum to those learners with extreme learning barriers.
• The school offer most mainstream school sports which include: Soccer, Cricket, Rugby, Athletics, Cross-Country, Swimming and Cheer leading.
  Belvedere participates in the annual Eisteddfod where learners can show case their abilities to sing, recite poetry and prose, cultural dancing as well as participate in the school choir.
