“A place where the sound of laughter and playing children abounds”

Junior Colleges Luthuli is situated in Durban on the grounds of the largest specialist hospital in the southern hemisphere, Inkosi Albert Luthuli. The school has been running successfully for the past 6 years. Initially it was opened to accommodate children of the hospital staff, but word soon spread about this wonderful school, and children from all over Durban now attend our school. Security is of the highest priority and standard.

The school is blessed with enthusiastic staff members who have been carefully selected to abide by the school’s vision, which is to stand firm in our belief that we shall provide a quality education that surpasses the ordinary pre-school. Our knowledge and expertise is evident in our innovative and top class educators.

We are proud to offer small classes which ensure one on one interaction between child and teacher. Our classrooms depict the six areas of learning which enable children to experience a more holistic range of activities. Combined with this, our teachers are trained in THRASS, the new exciting method of teaching handwriting, spelling and reading skills. We have also implemented the Developmental exercise programme from the Institute of Neuro-Physiological Psychology which is offered on a daily basis. The interactive white board is a powerful tool which is used in combination with our themes when teaching the children.

We encourage daily interaction between the teacher and parent. Communication is of prime importance and to this end we provide newsletters on a regular basis, parent evenings, a message book system and reports three times per annum.

We provide further stimulation for children by taking them on excursions to places such as the zoological gardens, animal farm, science lab, places of culture, etc.

Our school offers numerous extra murals during the day at an extra cost to the parents. We, however, offer specialized teaching such as “Speech and Drama” which is included in the fee as to prepare them to be leaders not followers.

Our school caters for children from 6 weeks to 6 years. We boast a beautifully decorated nursery that consists of a tranquil room for cots, a huge play area, milk kitchen and change area. The loving and caring staff do massages for the little ones and special exercises that help develop their gross-motor skills, language development and life skills.

With 6 academic classes from potty training right through to Grade R, our staff are trained to prepare our children for “big school” and beyond.

Our children are VIP guests who are served well presented and nutritious meals.
