About Us
At Whale Coast Academy, we believe that exceptional education begins with understanding the individual child. In a world where traditional schooling is increasingly overcrowded, standardised, and fast-paced, homeschooling offers families a meaningful alternative — one that prioritises freedom, flexibility, and the unique needs of every learner.
We proudly support families across South Africa and Abroad, in both English and Afrikaans, offering a complete homeschooling solution that balances academic excellence, emotional wellbeing, and strong family values.
Why Homeschooling?
Traditional schooling today faces many challenges:
Overcrowded classrooms
Limited individual attention
Behavioural and social pressures
Rigid, one-size-fits-all teaching
Heavy workload and reduced family time
Stressful academic environments that overlook personal development
Homeschooling empowers families to provide a personalised, flexible, and values-driven education. It gives children the space to learn at their own pace and allows parents to take meaningful leadership in their educational journey.
Freedom for Parents — Your Homeschool, Your Way
One of the greatest strengths of homeschooling is parental freedom. At Whale Coast Academy, we fully support your right to:
Choose the curriculum that fits your child best
Lead your child’s homeschooling journey
Combine subjects and methods from different educational systems
Create a learning environment that matches your family values and lifestyle
We guide, support, and empower you — but you remain in control of your child’s education.
Our Curriculum Expertise
We have hands-on experience across a wide range of local and international homeschooling systems for your support, including:
American High School Diploma pathways (Most preferred), CAPS, GED, Impak, Edu8SA, ThinkDigital, Cambridge & hybrid models, Online, textbook-based, and blended learning platforms.
This allows us to offer informed, personalized guidance to every family, regardless of the curriculum they prefer.
What About Sports & Extracurricular Activities?
Homeschooling does not limit sports or social opportunities — it actually expands them. With more flexible time and less pressure, students can explore activities they truly enjoy.
Our families enjoy:
Local sports clubs that offer hockey, netball, football, rugby, swimming, athletics, gymnastics, horse riding, surfing, etc.)
In-centre clubs and activities such as art, science days, coding, reading groups, and logic games
Weekly social meetups, outdoor days, nature walks, and workshops
Private coaches, studios, youth groups, and community classes
Children often excel in sports and hobbies because homeschooling offers more time, more rest, and more balance.
