KLC is a Waldorf-inspired special school where the day unfolds through a combination of classroom learning, rhythm, movement, music, art, storytelling and practical activity.
The programme works with children and young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a structured environment shaped by predictable routines, close teacher relationships and individual support.

Learning at KLC
Different stages. Different experiences.
KLC is organised across different stages, with the content and rhythm of the school day changing according to the age, abilities and support needs of the students in each group.
While the emphasis differs across stages, classroom learning, creative activity, movement, practical experiences and familiar routines remain recurring elements of the programme.
Beginning with rhythm and familiarity
The early years programme provides a structured introduction to the school environment through songs, movement, storytelling, play, simple classroom activities and familiar daily routines.
Activities take place individually and in groups, with support shaped around each child's participation and comfort within the school day.
Learning across the school day
Grade School brings together academic and functional learning with movement, music, art, storytelling, craft and practical activity.
Classroom content and activities vary across groups and individual students, with therapeutic support incorporated where appropriate.
Practical activity takes a greater role
In the pre-vocational stage, greater emphasis is placed on functional academics, daily living activities, communication, personal care and practical work.
Depending on the group and available activities, students may participate in cooking, gardening, handwork, craft and other practical experiences within the school programme.
Learning in Many Forms
Not every part of the school day happens at a desk.
Across KLC, music, movement, art, handwork and practical activities form part of the weekly rhythm. The mix of activities varies across groups and stages.
