In today’s dynamic economic landscape, developing entrepreneurial skills from a young age is more crucial than ever, especially in South Africa where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal to economic growth and stability.

Practical Entrepreneurial Benefits in the South African Context
Understanding business operations within the South African economy, which heavily relies on SMEs, provides our students with a significant advantage. They learn not only the theory behind business but also gain practical skills through setting up and running their own mini-enterprises. They further gain exposure to successful business owners, entrepreneurs and mentors, to inspire their entrepreneurial journey. This hands-on experience is invaluable and offers a fantastic opportunity for our students to excel and get ahead.
Unique Share Scheme at WFA Online High School
Participating in WFA Online’s unique share scheme allows our students to become shareholders within the WFA Holding Group, with profits potentially funding their future entrepreneurial ventures. This opportunity also gives our students a significant advantage when it comes to using their funds for tertiary studies. This early exposure to investment and returns teaches them the real-world impact of business decisions and financial planning.
By integrating these skills and experiences into our curriculum, WFA Online High School not only enhances our students’ educational journey but also empowers our students to contribute meaningfully to South Africa’s economy.
