A few of our parents’ testimonials

My son was apprehensive to move from primary school to high school. We realise that children can’t always stay small, and finding a suitable high school was one of the most challenging “quests” for us as parents. Since we met with the principal of WFA Online High School, everything has run smoothly. My son misses primary school but now he is looking forward to the future, completing his high school education with WFA! Awesome teachers and an amazing open-door policy! Thank you to ALL at WFA Online High School.

Alecia N.

I have never dealt with any school where you can speak directly to the founding member or the school principal for an enrolment – at WFA YOU CAN. Usually, one speaks to an administrator or a consultant, but at WFA nobody is just a number – they treat you as a person with choices and a voice! I am attracted to the Christian Values WFA stand for, and so far, they have lived those values. The love and passion for what they do shines through the way they teach the students. When I as a parent need to contact someone at WFA, I am not directed to some robot, but I am connected to an actual responsive human. I absolutely love WFA. Wayne Langridge, Wicus and Hestie, keep going and do what you do so lovingly. Absolutely 100% percent the best choice to make.

Natalie R.

We have recently enrolled our daughter at WFA Online High School, and so far, we are quite happy with the way they handle things. There is constant communication between the teachers and parents, and we get regular updates on how the kids are doing. Our daughter is motivated to work hard and study smartly. She enjoys all her lessons, thanks to small classes and a team of dedicated teachers who focus on each child individually. I wish all children had the opportunity to enrol at this school. WFA is the best! 

Brenda P.

I am highly impressed with the passion, commitment and professionalism of the staff. They provide a comprehensive program, qualified and enthusiastic teaching staff, impressive mentorship, leadership development and entrepreneurial skills development. This is an excellent fit for our family, offering a safe environment, as well as live and recorded lessons. At WFA my son can reach his full potential and develop discipline and character in a school environment.

My experience of the school so far is particularly good. It is a new challenge for me because I have never been in an online school. I also really enjoy the school hours and doing it at home makes it much more comfortable and fun. The attention we get in class, because the classes are still small, is also good, because we get the attention we need.

I am a former student of Wicus Jordaan. He was one of the greatest influences on my life. He always went the extra mile and took a genuine interest in me. He was always there for his students, he played a vital role in building the students up, and he encouraged us to believe in ourselves. I highly recommend this institution for your children.

I had the pleasure of having Mr Wicus Jordaan, CEO and principal, as head of my hostel during high school. He became like a father to me, teaching me valuable lessons that I will carry with me for life, and for that I am grateful. Based on my experience with Mr Jordaan, I highly recommend joining WFA. His care, support and guidance are simply unmatched.
