School Type: Special Needs

At Orion College:

We practice Invitational Education, where we believe that all people are valuable, responsible and able and should be treated as such. The children are invited to participate in an educational environment that is stimulating and vibrant. All children not achieving their full potential are accommodated, whether it is because of:

• A learning difficulty,
• An “attitude to school” problem,
• Emotional or physical trauma,
• Or they may just need more nurturing environment.
• A full multi-disciplinary team is available for every child that needs it.

Orion College is a place of love and compassion. A place where all the staff understand, that people are unique and that every child develops at his or her own pace emotionally and scholastically. We are centrally located in Honeydew on the North West Rand and just 6km from Cresta, 10 km from Westgate and 12km from Fourways.
