Happy School Kid

Welcome

At Roxer Academy, we believe every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn and grow. Our focus is on providing tailored support to children facing barriers to learning, helping them reach their full potential. Join us and be part of our mission to unlock the power of education for all.

In the Classroom

Our Focus

The school's focus is on empowering and enabling students who "fall through the cracks" at a mainstream school. This could be either because the student is not stimulated enough or has a certain barrier to learning e.g. ADD / ADHD.

Our Mission

“It is our mission to assist, empower and enable all students regardless of their barriers to learning, to achieve their full potential, and to do so while developing the whole student in a safe, nurturing and caring environment.”

Diogenes

"The foundation of every state is the education of its youth."

Nelson Mandela

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”

George Washington Carver

"Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom"

Our 
History

Get to Know Us

Roxer Academy was opened in January 2011 in Atlasville. The school was registered at the Gauteng Department of Education and has followed the syllabi of the department since then. The focus was on students that could not reach their full potential in a mainstream school because of a barrier to learning, but it became clear from the outset that the individualised approach also benefited students without barriers to learning.

The school transformed into an inclusive school and now caters for a variety of students and their specialised educational needs. These include students diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Asperger's Syndrome, as well as gifted students and students that would normally fit into the 'mainstream' mould. This diversity has been one of the school's strengths as students are exposed to others from all walks of life.

Tailored Education

Each student's education is tailored within the framework set out by the Department of Basic Education. This means that our approach in teaching each student is unique through applying the following principles:

 

  • Our staff is highly qualified, motivated, experienced and registered with the South African Council of Educators.

  • Each teacher is responsible for a maximum of ten learners. This enables us to give individual attention to each student and make sure that the concept is understood and applied correctly from the start.

  • No student can fall through the cracks like so many do in a class of 20 or more.

  • Peer pressure is eliminated since each student sets the pace. 

  • Few learners do exactly the same work at any given time.

  • Students are equipped to find ways and means to deal with their challenges from day to day.

  • The very experienced staff teaches students suffering from ADD and ADHD strategies to help them focus on their tasks and organisational skills.

  • Special attention is given daily to developing long-, and short-term memory, logical thinking, verbalisation, visual and auditory memory.
