    Awesome teachers, exemplary leadership and dedicated staff. This sums up why we love The Rock Academy. I couldn’t be happier and more grateful for the growth I’ve seen in my son over the last three years. His teachers’ thorough encouragement, patience and care have fostered his love for learning, and have had such a positive impact on his life. I am equally impressed with the thought, time and energy they put into their classrooms and teaching. We’re truly blessed to be a part of this ‘family’.

    Daughter in Grade 1, 2022

    From the moment we walked into The Rock Academy, on my daughter’s first day of Grade 1,  she was greeted by the Principal with a smile and a reassuring cuddle. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mrs. Oelofse, the principal, was so warm and compassionate on that first day, putting my husband and myself at ease.
    Her teacher, Mrs.Mc Dougall, has been so caring, patient and encouraging to my husband, my daughter and myself as we navigated her separation anxiety this year.
    The environment at The Rock Academy is open and welcoming.  Teachers strike an effective balance between fun and a firm hand. Every staff member in the school is dedicated and caring.  I love the focus on character development ,and nurturing children in a way that makes them grow into who they were made to be. Our daughter loves to come home and tell us about what she did in school. She is thriving academically too. She is happy that the classes are small. Her ability to care for others, her willingness to serve and her confidence in who she is, is increasing day by day.  Thank you, for the wonderful work you are doing with our precious children, Rock Academy teachers and staff.

    We have been unbelievably blessed to have found this school. Academically, it has covered all that we hoped for, but the blessing has come from the pervading air of respect and caring that is all encompassing. Each and every teacher has made our child feel seen and heard, but, most especially, loved. In terms of his sense of worth and self esteem, it isn’t possible to put a value on this experience.

    I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs Oelofse and the entire staff of the Rock Academy for their dedication to giving the best education to our children. It is without hesitation that I would recommend the school as the best in the Valley. Moreover the school’s Christian foundation helps to mould good character, discipline and respect in children. The exemplary dedicated teachers are the best in paying attention to each child’s uniqueness and special needs, which helps them to achieve their full potential. The Rock Academy also nurtures children in a safe and caring environment that promotes self confidence. As a parent who has been part of the school for six years and still continues to be, I am more than thankful to Mrs Oelofse and the whole Rock Academy staff.

    Grade 7, 2022

    I started at my school when i was 7 years old. I have always found my teachers to be very nice. Three things i have loved about my school is my friends, the teachers,  and the school environment.  I think the friendships made at my school will be lasting friendships.

    My school gives a very good education because there are good teachers here. They have helped me, taught me, and guided me.  Three of my best school memories are: laughing in class, lots of fun, and funny things that happened like when Dusty made his lips chunky!

    The main thing in school has taught me is: to never give up.

    Grade 7, 2022

    I started at my school when I was 6 years old, in 2016. My teachers helped me with schoolwork and helped me with developing my language skills. My school is fun, educational and loving.

    Three things that I have loved about school is making new friends, learning new things and talking to people. My school gives very good education because when you are struggling, the teachers will help you.  The main thing I have learned about friends, is that when you make friends they will do the silliest things ever! Three of my best school memories are: When Gabby fell off her chair; when Blake fell; and when Hayden tripped.
    My school has helped shape my character, my personality, my sense of fun, and so much more.

    What a privilege to send all 3 of my girls to this wonderful school! The Rock Academy is a school of high standards and Christian values. The teachers are loving, supportive and passionate about teaching and the character development of the children. The classes are small with a maximum of 12 children in a class. There is a strong sense of togetherness and inclusion, and we have loved being part of The Rock Academy family.

    I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate Mrs Oelofse and the whole Rock Academy staff,  for they have helped to build character, inspire dreams, encourage  creativity and build confidence in my  children.It is also worth mentioning that their dedication and leadership have been vital to moulding better children, mine included. I am also grateful for the solid Christian foundation.  Thank you, Mrs Oelofse and staff for protecting  our children’s  innocence and for appreciating  their uniqueness. May God bless you all.
