Our Special Needs Curriculum is NOT CAPS Aligned and does not go to Grade 12. The aim of this curriculum is NOT matriculation and thus our students do not need to complete Grade 12 or go to university. Our Special Needs Curriculum aims to equip students with special educational needs with basic life skills to enable them to be functional adults. This Curriculum focuses on 3 Main subjects: Mathematics, English and Life Skills and is a much more easier curriculum than CAPS. Our students simply love it.

Our Special Needs CAPS Curriculum on the other hand is CAPS Aligned and this students are able to transfer back to traditional CAPS Schools on our Curriculum and can also go to Univeristy.

Saving Grace Special Needs Homeschool is a home education curriculum provider for Grade R–9 specialising in Special Needs Curriculum but also offering the CAPS Curriculum.

Our students study either from home or are enrolled at a Tutor Centre of their choice.

Our Curriculum is Self Paced and there is no prescribed hours of work needed as this will differ for each child and each family. Parents and Tutor Centres are encouraged to work acquiring to their child’s individual pace.

You may find a tutor under our Support Services: https://www.savinggracetutors.co.za/

Students with Special Educational Needs do need support and therefore parents are encouraged to either develop a timetable that works for your family based on your availability or search for a tutor centre near your home who can then facilitate the day to day learning.
