About Us

Belvedere School provides for the needs of learners with special scholastic needs and learning disabilities. The need to help learners with disabilities is becoming increasingly necessary. In the Benoni area there are no schools for learners with special learning disabilities and severe mental disabilities. Therefore, urgent attention must be given to this.

A variety of factors, such as mental sensory, neurological and developmental possibilities, weakening, psychological disorders, differences in mental ability, particularly difficult life experiences or socio-economic decay, non-recognition or involvement of parents with their children, inappropriate and inadequate support services and learners with behavioural problems, leads to the emergence of different learning needs. Belvedere School has learners with learning difficulties due to tremendous poverty.

Learners experience barriers to learning development or develop a backlog during the learning process because the education and training system cannot accommodate learners with a variety of learning problems.

Belvedere School emphasizes the importance of including people with learning disabilities in the workplace, the social environment, the political environment and sport. The learner in his totality is therefore important.

Therefore, Belvedere School wants to empower the learners by using their individual strengths so that they can critically participate in the learning process themselves.

Belvedere School is passionate about the upliftment of learners, and to make up for the mistakes of the past.

The school motto is that if you care about yourself, you will also care for your family in the future.
