Fresh & Healthy Meals

At our preschool, we offer a delicious and hearty cooked breakfast, as well as a satisfying cooked lunch to ensure that our young learners start their day off right.

In addition to these meals, the children are also provided with a healthy snack during the morning hours, as well as a nutritious treat in the late afternoon to keep their energy levels up throughout the day.

For the older children in aftercare, we provide a wholesome cooked lunch alongside a nutritious afternoon snack, helping them maintain their focus and vitality as they engage in various activities.

We take great pride in the fact that all of our meals are homemade and thoughtfully prepared, prioritizing nutrition to support the growth and well-being of every child in our care.

Our Services

We offer educational services to students aged 2 years to Grade 7

At our educational center, we proudly provide comprehensive tutoring services tailored specifically for students ranging from grade R through grade 7. Our offerings extend beyond traditional academic support to include engaging chess classes, inspiring art lessons, and a diverse array of extracurricular activities designed to enhance the overall learning experience.

Additionally, we believe in celebrating creativity and physical expression by integrating both music and dance into all of our major events. These events, including thrilling sports days and captivating drama showcases, allow our students to shine while developing their talents and confidence in a supportive environment.

Bus services

Outeniqua Academy offers a convenient bus service that operates between the town center and the academy, ensuring that students can easily travel to and from the center. This service is designed to accommodate our students' schedules, with buses returning them to the town center in the late afternoon after their classes and activities have concluded.

Active Education

Active education and hands-on learning experiences are crucial components in fostering a child's overall growth and development. When children engage in movement and exploration, they not only enhance their physical abilities but also stimulate their cognitive and emotional well-being. This dynamic approach to learning empowers students to develop essential life skills, encouraging curiosity and confidence as they navigate the world around them. By incorporating movement and experiential activities into their education, we equip children with the tools they need to thrive both inside and outside of the classroom.
