🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A school worth 10 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow, what an incredible school to be part of. Our autistic son really struggled in his previous school that was designed specifically for autistic children. I spoke to Romina, the head of the foundation phase, and we decided to enroll him for the last term of the year in Teneo. Our intention was to let him get used to the system and structures and then he will repeat grade R again next year. We were in for a huge surprise. Michael just loved every minute of online school. Teacher Jamie-lee captivated him with her fun and interactive lessons. I must say, I also loved her lessons🫣 What an amazing teacher💕 We quickly saw Michael learning to navigate a computer on his own, asking to do reading eggs, getting his resources ready for the lessons and joining lessons all on his own. The curriculum is well structured and I love that it is transparent so as parents we can see what he learns and also add extra activities and conversations to supplement the current theme etc. I told Romina that my biggest fear was that he was going to sit in front of a screen the whole day and she assured me he won't and he did not. He still did physical activities, experiments and had baking on a Friday. This curriculum and the subsequent lessons are so well planned and I must give so much credit to Romina, Jamie-lee and the whole team. You are amazing🌷 We quickly had to learn how to do projects, orals and tests and even though I was nervous and did not think Michael could do it, we were once again surprised at his ability and the skills that his teacher thought him in class. Long story, short Michael did very well and is on his way to grade 1. Thank you teacher Jamie. You made a difference in his life and because of you he loves school again💖 We are sad to say goodbye to grade R and teacher Jamie would always remain in our hearts, but we are also excited to meet his grade 1 teacher and continue this incredible journey😃

I just have to say one last thing to add for the management team of Teneo: you are making a huge differenece and your vision of a good parent-teacher relationship coupled with academic success is in line with what any parent wants for their child. Thank you for creating this online space where our little angel can shine🌟🌟🌟
