Destiny Life Academy matrics are destined for greatness

Destiny Life Academy is giving recognition to the unswerving faithfulness of God as the Class of 2020 successfully navigated the unchartered territory of a global pandemic during their matric year.

The students’ commitment to tenaciously pursue success and adapt to the demands of online learning as they prepared for their most challenging examinations yet, was truly a remarkable feat.

The determination of the Class of 2020 combined with the unrelenting efforts of their committed teachers and the loving support of their parents has resulted in an excellent overall performance.

Once again, the school celebrates a 100% pass rate, an unbroken record since students first began writing the NSC matriculation examinations in 2015.

Destiny Life Academy also celebrates the quality of the results achieved by its students, with 76% of the matriculants achieving a bachelors pass and an overall achievement of 24 distinctions in a class of 21 matriculants.

The school applauds the unwavering efforts of these resilient young leaders, and wishes them continued success in the next season of their lives as they pursue their God-given dreams.

The history of the school

Destiny Life Academy is a Christian Co-Educational high school based on the Dolphin Coast, South Africa.

Founded in 2010, we are committed to the best practice for our students in all aspects of our school.

The Christian values that we strive to instill in our students, lead them on their journey through young adulthood and beyond.

We believe that each student is destined for greatness and as a school family we are here to guide, support and celebrate them.

Each and every child that God brings into our school family adds value to Destiny Life Academy.

The school was established by Peter and Ilana Markgraaff, who saw a need for a Christian high school in the Ballito area.

Together with the elders of the Destiny Life Church (now ‘Encounter’) they followed the call of God and started the school using the Destiny Life Church grounds.

When it was time for them to move to a greater calling, they handed over the reins to Colleen Moodley and Niki Balkovic.

In the years that have passed DLA has thrived – from just a handful of students to a fully functioning independent school today.

Destiny Life Academy has also been blessed with caring, committed and highly qualified teachers who have embraced the unique DLA culture and have been instrumental in nurturing the next generation for the last 11 years.

We look forward to all that lies ahead.
