Having a child with Down Syndrome is a journey. Start your journey with us.
Are you looking for a school for your young child with Down Syndrome for 2027? Visit our Open Day on 16 October 2026!
We have openings for a new generation of young children with Down Syndrome who are ready to start on a journey of learning, discovery, fun and friends! At Up with Downs we believe that children with special needs should be able to learn in a caring and safe environment which allows them to develop skills and enable them to make a positive contribution in society.
We welcome all parents and caregivers of children with Down Syndrome between the ages of 4yrs and 16yrs to our open day. Children are also welcome to accompany!
Our open day starts at 09h00 on Friday 16 October at Up with Downs Centre for learners with special needs in George.
Please RSVP to the school office at 044 870 8770 or 072 563 1983. You can also e-mail our school office at upwithdowns@mweb.co.za . We’re looking forward to welcome you to our school!
