About Elite Academy
We create calm, purposeful classrooms.
At Elite Academy, our dynamic team of educators are passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for learners in Grade R–9. We specialise in supporting children who find large classrooms overwhelming and who thrive with individual attention and smaller social groups.
Our goal is to help each learner feel valued, confident, and capable — academically, socially, and emotionally.
While the CAPS curriculum is fast-paced, we never compromise on quality or the in-depth growth of our learners. With small classes, a qualified scribe, and extra lessons, we ensure every child receives the personalised support they deserve.
Based in Brackenfell, Western Cape, we are committed to partnering with parents to help children reach their full potential in a way that honours both their learning and their well-being.

CAPS curriculum
Lessons are CAPS-aligned yet flexible, ensuring the learner masters foundations before moving on.
Small classes
How better to assist children struggling in large social groups or who need one-on-one attention? Extra classes do the rest, and a qualified scribe assists with difficulty in test-taking.
Afrikaans & English
We offer a bilingual spread of subjects for Grades R through 9. Even if you would like to change your child's primary learning language, it can be extremely beneficial to transition them through our system intermediately.
