Academics top priority at Kinston Academy
Kinston placing strong focus on early development in education for your little one.
IT is said that the best years to nurture an achiever is at an early age, and this is exactly what Kinston Academy has been accomplishing since the year 2000.
Kinston is a Christian English medium academy that offers learners the best foundation phase from Grade R to Grade Two and will soon be extending their reach to Grade Three pupils.
“Academics are our strongest point and this shows, because last year our class average was 93 per cent and our pass rate 100 per cent,” said Kinston Academy owner Marina van Wyk.
”We started as a pre-primary school in the year 2000 and, since then, we’ve built the academy into a Christian English medium private primary school.”
The foundation phase places a strong focus on two to three-year-olds who are started on a formal and proper syllabus that strengthens their handwriting skills and then builds from there onwards.
The aim of this process is to ensure that, by the time the child reaches Grade One, their top results can show that they were 100 per cent prepared for ”big school”.
“We do not allow a child to go below an average of 65 per cent and Kinston Academy’s class average is above 70 per cent,” continued van Wyk. We aspire for 85 to 90 per cent, because we are driven and focused on academics.”
Each classroom has at least 30 learners and in 2016 the school will be including the French language in the curriculum.
Kinston Academy has no cut off period for registrations and is open for registrations throughout the year.
Future plans are to extend classes to accommodate learners from Grade R all the way to Grade Seven.
The school does not offer sports, although it does have a gym period.
Kinston Academy is located at 87 Voster Avenue, in Glenanda.
