“We believe that children are not their diagnosis, they are not their disability. We do not perceive differences as deficiencies. We believe that by meeting the child “where he/she is at” (developmentally, behaviourally and emotionally) and extending his/her thinking capacity, with specifically selected learning materials, we build up not only the child’s cognition and functional abilities, but also his/her human spirit.” - Dr. Lyn Thijsse (Educational Psychologist)
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
We have been struggling in Port Elizabeth to find the right fit for our son with Autism - it is like no one can see the potential and misunderstands how to approach him. We found Metanoia Kloof Cottage and within just a few weeks we saw a significant difference in his abilities and his behaviour. Metanoia Kloof Cottage brings out the absolute best in him and build him up every day. As a family this has made such a significant impact, we can rest assured that our son is receiving the best intervention in the city.
Words cannot express what Kloof has done for my son. The love and most importantly the individual attention to the education has been professional and catering to my son’s individual needs, meeting him where he is at. We are so excited what the future holds and the interactive classroom app makes us feel part of our child’s development! Thank you Kloof for bringing Metanoia to Port Elizabeth and allowing my son to grow and strive to excellence!
Our journey with Metanoia Kloof Cottage started a mere 3 months ago.
Having a little boy on the spectrum, I’ve literally struggled for years to find a school which was a good fit for him.
I had to find a place that would understand his sensitive nature, who would create a happy learning environment, deal with his vision problems, work through his anxiety etc.
I can honestly say that Kloof Cottage ticked all the boxes and even more. The skill set he has acquired in such a small period of time is truly phenomenal.
For the first time I’m driving a kid to school who is not only not having a meltdown, but can’t wait to jump out of the car to meet his teacher.
My boy has finally found his tribe!

My 6-year old daughter has blossomed and has grown in leaps and bounds in the short span of time since joining Metanoia Silver Oak.The school embodies a warm and friendly family environment that makes transitioning from home to school so much easier. It boasts an inspired blend of education, therapy, extra curricular activities and life skills that will set any child in good stead for the future. Classrooms are kept small to allow or one-on-one teacher-pupil time and we're kept up to date of our little one's progress daily through direct communication, images and milestones met.The team of humble teachers are dedicated to bringing out the best in each child and growing their confidence by focussing on skills they excel at, as well offering assistance with tasks they struggle with. I am filled with gratitude for the quality education my child receives each day.
Metanoia Silver Oak has really been the perfect place for our daughter.
Classes are small and the curriculum is tailored towards each child's specific strengths and weaknesses.
Daily feedback on progress and new skills learnt as well as any issues which may have arisen during the day really helps to set this school apart from the rest. From an introverted child who struggled with interacting with other children our daughter has blossomed under the expert care given by teachers and other staff members. Her improved language, social skills as well as academics have been nothing short of amazing. I cannot recommend our little school enough

I used to cry late last year not knowing where and when I will send my son to school.
I never thought there would be a day where I listened to my son reading a book and with excitement. Today to be exact, he was watching his favourite cartoon show on TV when I asked him to come and finish his reading, he did not hesitate at all. I felt like crying again, this time tears of JOY.
I really commend you and your team for the amazing work you do for our kids. I am so glad I made the decision to enrol him at Kloof. To think of it, it's only a few weeks since the school opened its doors for 2021 and already he can READ.
