Lantern School is a remedial institution that supports learners with specific learning challenges, offering education from Grade 1 to Grade 12. The school follows the mainstream GDE CAPS curriculum, tailored to meet the unique needs of its students.
If learners show significant progress, they may be transitioned back into a mainstream school. With small class sizes, Lantern School ensures individualized attention, and additional services like learning support, speech therapy, and occupational therapy are available, particularly in the primary school.
In addition to academics, students at Lantern School can participate in a variety of sports, including rugby, netball, cricket, soccer, athletics, tennis, and chess. The school also offers an extensive transport system, providing convenient transportation from surrounding areas such as Randfontein, Randburg, Krugersdorp, and Brixton.
