Admissions Process
The admissions process is rigorous as it is very important that your child receives the best educational support for their needs at this juncture. Our professional staff takes the time to assess every application from a multidisciplinary perspective to ensure your child’s individual needs can be met in the Crossroads environment. We are able to accommodate a maximum of 14 learners per class.
Our learners have good potential to learn and many return to a mainstream school or are advised on the most suitable educational environment for them in their secondary schooling years. Crossroads educates learners who learn differently, and who would benefit from additional input and support in developing their skills enabling them to flourish academically.
All reports submitted must be current and the application form must be completed fully before it can be considered.

Claiming School Fees as a Medical or Disability Expense
Many parents are unaware that school fees can potentially be claimed as a tax deduction. To explore this possibility, it is advised that parents consult a tax expert specialising in medical matters.
For tax purposes, expenses related to disability and physical impairment are governed by Section 18 of the Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962. According to Section 18(3), a disability is defined as a moderate to severe limitation of a person’s ability to function or perform daily activities due to a physical, sensory, communication, intellectual, or mental impairment lasting more than a year, as certified by a registered medical practitioner.
To qualify for the full deduction of fees, a registered medical practitioner must confirm the disability and complete the prescribed form ITR-DD, after the taxpayer has filled out their portion. For more information, parents can visit the SARS website at www.sars.gov.za or contact their tax adviser.
