Our school

Our history

From a small beginning in 1971 to a specialist school community in Pretoria.

From Murray Street to Ashlea Gardens

New Hope began with 33 learners, 14 staff members and two housemothers at the former St Peter’s Hostel in Murray Street, Brooklyn. In 1979, a purpose-built school was completed on the present site. The name came from the homestead on the farm: New Hope.

A school that continued to grow

Over time, the school expanded its education, therapy and residential support. Today its programmes extend from early childhood through Grade 12, with additional technical occupational and life-skills routes for learners whose strengths are better served outside a conventional academic pathway.
