Modern cognitive science (the science of learning and thinking) has identified a set of universal skills called executive functions that form the basis of intelligent human behaviour. At Liberté school, we explicitly focus on developing these skills by allowing children the freedom to follow their interests and passions and learn in a manner most suited to them as individuals. We foster a lifelong love of learning by identifying and taking advantage of learners’ natural curiosity, strengths and talents. When humans do what they love, learning happens naturally.
Using children’s unique interests and natural curiosity to develop their cognitive skills within a carefully prepared, secure and stimulating environment with children of different ages, where teachers provide warm and supportive guidance towards autonomy and independence.
School tours are conducted weekly, generally on a Tuesday or a Thursday at 10:30. Please contact us to make an appointment.
No, Liberté does not charge a waiting list or enrollment fees. We do, however, require the first month’s tuition instalment upfront. Due to our high teacher-to-child ratio, we have limited spaces available in our classrooms, and most have a waiting list.

School fees are charged for the year and payable via debit order as 12 equal monthly instalments.

Our school is located on the doorstep of the Rietvlei nature reserve in Milnerton, allowing children to interact with and learn from nature.

We only close for four weeks in December/January, and kinderkinetics, holiday care, meals, stationery, and all educational materials are included in the fees.
“We were meant to explore this earth like children do, unhindered by fear, propelled by curiosity and a sense of discovery. Allow yourself to see the world through new eyes and know there are amazing adventures here for you.” – Laurel Bleadon Maffei.
