We find the perfect pathway to unlock each students' potential
There are so many different ways to get to the finish line.
We are pathfinders.
We create learning opportunities beyond the limits of the mainstream curriculum. We foster confidence beyond the duress of traditional education expectation. Our expert knowledge and international experience enable us to integrate interdisciplinary expertise to best support each student’s specific needs.
Every pathway is an opportunity for students across a range of presentations, functioning and ability to level the playing field, regardless of social standing, complexity of presentation or age.
Everyone can reach their unique potential in their own time, space and way, with the right support and relationships. Our students are supported fully, towards independence.
EDU360 Integrated Education is proudly independent without shareholders to please. Our independence means that our pathways are unique and talk to student functional age, which is materially different to the chronological age expectation of mainstream and remedial schools, and a world-a-way from the statistical limitations of commercial school group operations. We choose to design, create and manage our own accredited EDU360 pathways for our students to be successful as socially integrated citizens.
Supported fully, towards independence.
The Pivot Pathway
We begin with CAPS Curriculum (English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Life Skills and ICT) and with this foundation, we move into ASDAN curriculum.
ASDAN stands for Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network. ASDAN is an international programme, which progress through Bronze, Silver and Gold. EDU360 is an ASDAN partner.
ASDAN is designed for students with a significant difference between functional and chronological age, as it imparts accessible and fundamental skills for life, through structured activities which provide evidence of learning. These activities are skills-focussed with the objective of preparing students for life and successful integration into civil society.
ASDAN turns intangible and hard-to-observe knowledge and skills into measurable units of awareness and ability. Students need to complete several credits before moving onto the next level. This flowchart shows the number of credits that are needed within each stage.
The Steps
- We work with the student to choose their areas of interest.
- We match areas of interest with ASDAN programmes.
- Students complete ASDAN levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold.
- Certificates are awarded for each level competed.
- Students graduate with ASDAN Certificates of levels completed (evidence or work), and can then,
- Students choose Short Courses to complete specific study in employable skills pertaining to their defined interests and strengths.

The Academic Pathway
The Academic Pathway offers higher functioning neurodiverse students that are academically-oriented an opportunity to achieve a matric, using the same approach we employ across all pathways: 360°wrap-around support, identifying and employing all the tools needed for each individual to achieve in their own time and unique way.
Our EDU360 Academic Pathway works within the international education system run by Cambridge University, which is richly skills-based, less content-heavy, more applicable and offers more exam opportunities, alleviating the anxiety of a high-stake event, and providing the possibility of achieving university entrance.
We lobby for necessary concessions and champion our students through their studies and the process of internationally accredited external examination.
The Vocational Pathway
The Vocational Pathway offers SETA-accredited courses and qualifications to enter the world of work and become independent, valued members of society.
An alternative to a matric, a NQF Level 4 qualification in End-User Computing is what the Vocational Academy offers, with our same signature approach: providing complete 360°wrap-around support, identifying and employing all the tools needed for each individual to achieve in their own time and unique way.
Our curriculum, methodologies and understanding of how to manage barriers to learning and SEN, enables students to be job-ready and functional in the workplace. Our carefully considered approach accommodates and calms the fears of our students. We run our programmes at a manageable pace, which supports and enables our students to process, understand and apply key learning skills to the best of their ability.
