IHSAN (Islamic Holistic School For Alternative Needs) was established in 2007 with the aim to bridge a gap that was found within our community for children with special needs. At IHSAN we strive to help learners achieve their potential in all areas of Development.

We started with a single class of 5 learners and have grown to accommodate children at various levels of development. We have a multidisciplinary team that provides input to develop each child’s learning. This team consists of qualified teachers and therapists that work closely together with learners to help them reach their full potential.

At IHSAN our syllabus is developed with input from a multidisciplinary team.
