Learn about our mission to provide quality education, empower communities, and transform lives through STEM excellence and holistic development.
About LEAP Schools
LEAP Science & Maths Schools provide low-fee education to students from high-need communities. We offer Mathematics, Physical Science and English as mandatory subjects. Our school day is extended (9 hours), and we have Saturday classes and formal holiday programmes.
LEAP uses a three-way collaboration methodology that creates the opportunity to share excellence in all spheres. This means that every LEAP school is partnered with more privileged schools and other township schools in the community LEAP serves.
We also have several programs that tackle a barrier to education.
The LEAP Future Leaders Programme
The LEAP Future Leaders Programme works to make teaching aspirational and accessible for young graduates. We aim for 10% of each LEAP graduating class to study education at the tertiary level. Future Leaders can study to become educators at a tertiary institution or participate in LEAP’s Leaders in Education internship.
The LEAP Learning Centre
The LEAP Learning Centre provides quality tutoring to learners in LEAP Science and Maths School’s partner communities in Cape Town. A diverse group of tutors from qualified African refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Botswana and Zimbabwe, South African professionals and volunteer staff.
Social Development
All students and staff work with a social development organisation in one of our partner communities. There are eight scheduled student visits during the year. Activities vary from games, story-telling, painting and singing with young children to performances, singing, talking and listening to the tales and wisdom of the older seniors.
The LEAP Movement
The LEAP Movement promotes sharing of lessons, good practice and advocacy. Aiming to bring together education stakeholders, the movement promotes equal access to quality education in South Africa.
