Our Story
Founded in 2022 by Wanda Botha, our academy is a testament to her lifelong passion for education and community. After a fulfilling 20-year career in the hospitality industry as a guest house manager, Wanda decided to pursue her dream of establishing her own school, driven by her deep commitment to teaching and nurturing growth in others.
Fully qualified with a TEFL Level 5 Diploma, a degree in Communication and 12 years of experience in community teaching at her local church, Wanda has honed her skills in creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. Her dedication to education is matched only by her devotion to her family. A loving wife and mother of two sons, aged 21 and 23, Wanda brings warmth and empathy to everything she does.
Fun Facts
Beyond her professional achievements, Wanda is an avid gardener and enjoys spending her free time walking and playing with her two beloved fur buddies.
