It’s a new and exciting dawn for neurodivergent learners in Ballito, thanks to a new educational opportunity!
Ballito, South Africa (17 January 2025) – A new dawn for neurodivergent learners in Ballito is here thanks to the EDU360 School officially opened its doors this morning! This marks the beginning of a new era in inclusive education in Ballito—an area in need of diverse education opportunities.
Principal Jacqui McKelvey expressed her excitement and commitment to filling a critical need for a fresh approach to education in the area.
“We are delighted to be able to meet a very real need here in Ballito for an inclusive and adaptable educational model. Having been successfully operating a School and a College in Johannesburg since 2016, we are confident that our innovative approach will provide valuable support to students who require a different way of learning.”
The Johannesburg chapter was responsible for supporting South African achiever Stephanie Pringle, who, last year, made history. Stephanie—who is Autistic—became the first person in the world to pass her Cambridge exams with a letterboard! (You can read all about it here).
The school has become renowned for its personalised educational methods, focusing on a student-centred approach that caters to a variety of learning styles.
Longstanding Ballito community member and professional in the field of education, Kimber Gould, has been instrumental in furthering inclusivity and personalised learning for students with mild to moderate learning differences across the region.
“We are thrilled to have Kimber on board as a key part of our team,” McKelvey added. “Her expertise and deep understanding of the local community will be invaluable as we work together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.”
The new campus, located at Sugar Village, comes as a big win for the neurodivergent community.
