Raslouw Academy Pre-School is located in Centurion. Welcome to Raslouw Academy, where we strive to do just that! Raslouw Academy is a remedial school based in Centurion, and was founded in 2004 after a need for specialized education had been identified.

Raslouw Academy is a school for learners with specialized educational needs, providing a safe, structured environment where learners can grow emotionally, socially and academically.

Starting with merely a handful of learners and only three educators, Raslouw Academy has grown to accommodate close to 170 learners in 2019 on two campuses, all the while providing a safe, structured environment where learners can grow emotionally, socially and academically.

Raslouw Academy provides a one-stop solution for special-needs learners in a safe and supportive environment, with our creed being that a good education teaches a child what to remember from the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for in the future. It is our constant endeavour, too, to recognise achievement every day and to reward responsibility every hour.

This personalised approach to teaching makes for happy, well-adjusted learners, and is ultimately geared at optimising that one moment in childhood when the door opens and the future is let in. As we all know, a child can be saved from the worst circumstances by providing the opportunity for a good education.

The dedicated and well-qualified educators at Raslouw Academy teach according to the principle of providing continuous support to each and every learner at the school. They accept that every learner’s journey is unique, especially since they may have been referred to the school for reasons such as ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, Epilepsy and/or other social and emotional problems.

At Raslouw Academy, we endeavour always to recognise that all learners are unique, even if mainstream systems opt to classify them in terms of broad brushstrokes such as “special needs”, “at risk” or even “talented and gifted”.

Our skilled educators recognise too, that every learner develops at his or her own pace, both emotionally and academically, and adapt their teaching to ensure that the school provides a stimulating and structured environment. By turning the learning experience into a joyful one, learners are assisted at becoming ever-more respectful, responsible and confident individuals.

At Raslouw Academy, we subscribe to the words of Robert Maynard Hutchins when he observed that “the object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives”.
