More about Leap Prep School
At Leap we are creating an exceptionally high-quality learning culture in a personal, family-like environment. We steer clear of highly pressurised, corporate-like, large school environments that have become the norm and where children learn in a non-personal, non-flexible setup. This allows us the time, space and focus to create a wonderful, quality-focused experience for our learners.
At Leap we think like designers… we believe that school should be intentionally approached, intelligently designed and continually improved. And so we are always looking for ways to embed more research-based truth into every aspect of school life.
We are committed to implementing only interventions that have a sound basis in research – that have been shown to work, and work dramatically.
We support our teachers to become, increasingly, masters at the art of teaching; gifted guides on a journey to becoming beautifully unnecessary. We don’t micromanage. We don’t burden them with administration and unnecessary red tape. We make sure they free to spend their time and energy teaching and learning…
We invest heavily in the professional development of our teachers. We intentionally develop, through a number of training interventions, those skills and traits found to have the most powerful effect on students’ achievement…
At Leap we forge relationships of trust and respect. We forge partnerships for learning. Our classrooms are active, positive, collaborative, experimental and inspired.
To apply, please send your CV, along with a cover letter explaining why you are a good fit for Leap School, to Jean van Schalkwyk at jean.vanschalkwyk@leapschools.co.za.
