Why choose us?

At Breakthrough South, students learn in a warm and nurturing environment that emphasizes community contribution and responsibility. Our educational approach integrates mindfulness and strong character development throughout the learning experience. This ensures that our students grow into active, self-aware, and confident citizens who are cooperative and responsible decision-makers. Our school&rsquo;s motto is captured in the acronym B.R.I.C.K. &mdash; we teach students to see challenges as opportunities by changing breakdowns to breakthroughs, taking personal responsibility for being the author of their lives, having integrity by keeping their commitments, approaching situations with an attitude of contribution, and maintaining a growth mindset by developing knowledge of social skills. We have also added the secondary theme of STEAM to strengthen students&rsquo; 21st-century skills to ensure their success in our ever-changing world!

FUTURE READINESS 
We foster the development of soft skills in students such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership.
