About Iteko Special School
Established in September 1986, Iteko Special School is a public LSEN school based in Rustenburg, North West Province, under the North West Department of Education. Led by Ms B.I Ditsile, the school provides specialised education and support to learners who require an alternative learning environment to mainstream schooling, with a strong focus on holistic development, inclusion and individual learner needs.
With a focus on inclusive and differentiated education, Iteko offers a differentiated CAPS curriculum across Grades 1–5, with learning programmes adapted to the abilities, developmental levels and individual needs of learners. The school provides a supportive learning environment that promotes the values of respect, dignity, inclusivity, compassion, responsibility, equality and excellence, encouraging every learner to develop their abilities and participate meaningfully in school and society.
Learners have opportunities to engage in a range of practical, creative and vocational activities, including Art, Beadwork, Needlework, Crafts, Bricklaying, Woodwork and Welding. Small class sizes and personalised teaching support meaningful progress, while a strong emphasis on life skills, practical learning and extracurricular development helps learners build confidence, independence, creativity and valuable skills for everyday life and future participation in society.
Our admissions process considers the overall abilities, learning needs and individual circumstances of each learner, ensuring that appropriate support and educational opportunities are provided. Through its commitment to respect, inclusion, care, responsibility and learner development, Iteko Special School strives to create an environment where every learner is valued, supported and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
