Building Strong Foundations for Every Child
Hands-On Junior Primary is a private, independent school catering to learners from RRR to Grade 7. Our small classes provide a supportive alternative to mainstream schooling, allowing each child to receive individual attention and instruction tailored to their needs.
We are committed to inclusive education, fostering an environment where neurodiverse learners can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our structured, stimulating, and caring approach combines the warmth of a cottage-style school with the safety and security of a home-like environment, creating a space where every child can flourish.
Our educators are highly qualified and experienced in working with neurodiverse students as well as children who benefit from a home-school approach. They are dedicated to nurturing each child’s unique strengths while broadening their academic, social, and emotional growth.
