Who We Are,
Where We Came From,
& Where We’re Headed

At Sunfield Home School Verulam, we believe in nurturing the potential of every child. As a beacon of specialized education, we provide a safe, caring space where intellectually impaired young learners can grow and thrive. Our holistic approach fosters confidence, dignity, and independence, empowering students to take their rightful place in society.

Our story began in 1972, on farmland once owned by the renowned Armstrong family near Durban. Starting as a modest care facility for 20 children, our school grew into a trusted institution with enduring brick buildings replacing the original prefabs. Throughout the decades, we have remained steadfast in our mission to provide meaningful education and unwavering support to hundreds of children and their families.

Guided by our motto, “Growing with Love,” we continue to build a brighter future for our students. By embracing inclusivity, innovation, and compassion, we aim to expand our reach and uphold the vision of equipping every child with the tools and confidence to succeed. Join us as we shape lives, one step at a time.
