The Lorato community in their own words — honest, specific, and full of love.
We asked four parents what they would tell a friend who is thinking about enrolling.
Ms. Khumalo emails me every Friday with one small win Kabelo had at school — last week it was that he asked a kind question to a new friend. Those tiny notes have changed how my son sees himself. He wants to come to school, even on Mondays.
What surprised me was the science teacher knew Mia was scared of frogs and adapted the lesson without her ever asking. That is the kind of attention you cannot fake. My daughter now keeps a Curiosity Notebook at home.
The Wednesday Coffee Hour is real. I walked in worried about Aarav's reading; the principal himself sat with me for thirty minutes and showed me a small home routine. By half-term, Aarav was reading us bedtime stories.
My son struggled with anxiety in Grade 4. The school counsellor met with him weekly and looped me in every step. Two years on, he is leading the robotics club. Lorato did not just teach him — they held him.
