Hope School Pre-School is located in Westcliff. The Hope Home was first established in 1916 when mining magnate, Raymond Schumacher, placed his home on Westcliff Ridge in trust for the purpose of housing disabled children. Hope Home was named after his wife, Hope, which epitomizes everything the Home stands for, with an overarching focus on improving the quality of the lives of physically disabled children.

Later in 1929 the Hope School was established by the Department of Education on the Hope Home premises to provide a holistic environment for children with physical disabilities.

Hope School works to address the needs of these remarkable children, helping them grow in confidence, gain a measure of independence and reach their full potential.

Hope School provides quality education to physically disabled leaners from the age of 3 years to Grade 12. The school follows the same curriculum as mainstream schools and matrics write the National Senior Certificate Exams.

Hope School provides weekly boarding facilities to boys and girls from age 3 to matric with senior professional staff on duty 24 hours a day. The school also has 4 buses, servicing specific routes, providing transport at a low cost to day scholars.
