RE-IMAGINING EDUCATION

As educators who have more than 20 years of experience in both private and government schools, we have become concerned and disillusioned by a number of issues, such as:
Traditional schooling is not meeting the needs of our children, as they focus on the curriculum and not the child.
Private schools are often profit-driven with hidden costs.
Class sizes are problematic.
Teachers are not equipped, experienced or qualified.
Too many children are being lost in these systems.

TESTIMONIALS

The Legacy House teachers left an indelible mark on my educational journey and personal growth. Mrs. Thomas's class on argumentative essays reshaped my perspective, teaching me the value of diverse approaches in life. Her departure saddened me, knowing my brother wouldn't experience her impactful lessons. In her classroom, I honed my wit, deepened my love for reading, and mastered communication skills. Mrs. Thomas's influence transcends the academic realm; she remains an exceptional educator, mentor, and friend.

Mrs. Thomas played a crucial role in shaping the confident woman I am today through her mentorship in the Public Speaking program. Under her guidance, I learned essential academic and life skills that continue to serve me well. Her genuine interest in my development created a supportive and valued learning environment. Beyond her role, she dedicated time to mentoring both junior and senior teams, displaying unwavering dedication. Through Public Speaking, I honed critical thinking and articulate communication, benefiting my journey to a Masters Degree and aspiring business success. Mrs. Thomas's influence extends far beyond the classroom, nurturing my personal growth.

Dear Ronel Mrs, Le Roux Today we are very sad to hear that this is the last lesson with you. You have taught me since the first day I arrived at this school. You are the best teacher in the world. I brought you this tortoise because it symbolises long life, endurance, and health. The tortoise is old and wise, never to hasty or anxious. Be like the tortoise and wherever life takes you, take it easy. We will all miss you mam. All the best for your future with Legacy House

My son is presently a Grade 5 learner and was struggling with Afrikaans as a language. I posted on Facebook for help and Ms Potgieter then contacted me. She offered to assist him by giving my son lessons after hours. I started to see a great improvement in my son's performance in Afrikaans to an extent that he made a comment saying that he has started to love the subject due to her patience toward him in understanding the subject. Ms Potgieter is an asset within the teaching profession.

When I think back to my time at the DSJ, I recall that I fondly went to you, Mrs Thomas. You gave us students a space that went beyond the syllabus - in the sense that we often had discussions of current affairs, in so doing I was confronted with different views and opinions. You opened up my world view.

Sue ellen- When I started with Ms Goeda, I couldn’t read properly, I was bad at spelling, I was angry and didn’t want to give school the time of day. Miss Goeda helped, now I can read without getting stuck, I can spell 20x better and am a much happier and calmer person, and I have Mrs Goeda to thank for that. Mrs Goeda is a one-of-a-kind teacher who I will remember for the rest of my life.
