Liberté School is an international preschool and primary school located at 8 Lingfield Close, Milnerton Ridge, Cape Town, on the border of the Rietvlei nature reserve. The school combines the Cambridge (British) curriculum with an AMI-informed Montessori approach, adapted through a cognitive‑science framework that uses individualised learning plans and a focus on executive‑function skills. It serves children from ages 1 to 11 across preschool and lower primary stages (the site describes Montessori mixed‑age class sections for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and a Grade R year, and primary offers Cambridge Lower Primary Stages 1–4). English is taught as the first language; Afrikaans, German and French are offered as additional languages (the school notes plans to introduce isiXhosa). Published facilities and programmes include ICT and robotics, applied arts and design, science resources, music, food‑preparation and permaculture elements, plus intra‑ and extra‑mural activities and small class sizes.
