LEAP`s vision is to transform disadvantaged communities in South Africa through mathematics and science focused education initiatives. LEAP partners with specific communities and provides children from these communities with the opportunity to gain access to tertiary study opportunities, be successful in their chosen career path and develop as socially responsible citizens of South Africa. LEAP consists of: - Four independent low-fee paying schools serving the communities of Langa and Gugulethu in Cape Town and Alexandra and Diepsloot in Johannesburg.
- LEAP Teacher Training Programme
- LEAP Learning Centre
- LEAP Community Support & Social Development Programme
“I am proud of being a South African after my visit to LEAP... This initiative demonstrates the capacity of South Africans to turn adversity into a platform of opportunity. The young people who emerge from this institution are bound to become leaders in whatever field they work in. The educational experience of LEAP embodies the principle that promoting equity and excellence go together. The attention to access, personal development and academic excellence is a model that should be replicated everywhere in our education system.”
