SIAS-Aligned Programmes

Programmes designed for every learner, every classroom.

Five flagship programmes built on the Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support framework — delivered in partnership with the Department of Basic Education across the North West province.

What we deliver

A portfolio of programmes, one inclusive vision.

Each programme can be delivered on its own or combined into a multi-year school improvement package. All are aligned to SIAS and the CAPS curriculum.
