Grantley College was born out of a need to attend to the special educational needs of children with learning disabilities of one kind or another. It aims to create and sustain a less anxious classroom environment where students receive tuition from caring staff and a multidisciplinary remedial/educational support team. The College has become one of the leading schools in South Africa offering a unique opportunity to learners who require a specialised mainstream supportive educational environment in grades 8 to 12.

Although academic achievement is not the sole measure of success, it is nevertheless important for the successful integration of learners into the adult world. Grantley students write the National Senior Certificate exam through the Gauteng Education Department, and achieved another 100% pass rate of candidates entering this examination at the end of 2010. We are proud of the fact that Grantley is one of the few schools in South Africa to offer children this type of educational opportunity from Grade 8 through to matric.

The College is renowned for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and offers students, parents and staff a fun, creative and challenging environment in which to learn and work. Without a doubt Grantley College offers an alternative and dynamic environment for these unique learners who in this unique environment achieve extraordinary results.

The College Constitution requires class sizes to be no more than 15, although in most cases classes in both the junior and senior school are smaller than this maximum. Small classes ensure that from Grade 8 to Grade 12, students receive the added benefit of individualised support and exposure to a specialised academic and remedial staff.

Apart from a dynamic educational environment with small classes, the College offers a multidisciplinary programme that includes sport and cultural extra-mural activities.
