Mission

Willow Academy’s Vision & Mission

Cultivating Christ-centred influencers for the 21st century world. 

Engage, discover, learn, from a Biblical worldview.

A Word

From Our Principal

Welcome the Willow Family.  Willow Academy has been around since 1988. The heart of our school is to educate learners, but also to equip them with values and skills to change their communities. We are a school that believes that Jesus is at the centre of everything we do. We encourage our learners to follow the scripture, Love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as you love yourselves, as this is the commandment Jesus gave. Then we also believe that there is nothing we can’t do, from the scripture, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 

As a school we comply with the CAPS but we change the content from a humanistic worldview to a Biblical Worlview. This means we ask the question, What does Jesus have to say about this? So when deciding on a school it is important that you pray about it as we know that we will see your child more than you and what we impart in their lives should be in line with your worldview.

Governance

In addition to being governed by our Heavely Father and operating as a Department of Word of Faith Christian Centre, we are registered with the Department of Education, and partner with various other stakeholders such as Umalusi, the Independent Examination Board(IEB) and the Association of Christian Schools International(ACSI).

Willow Academy is registered as a Non-Profit Organisation and is fully compliant with the Non-Profit Organisations’ Act. We believe we need to honour and submit to these organisations, as they protect us, and assist us in promoting good governance.

Our Chairperson

Willow Academy is ever growing, ever expanding, ever seeking to do things with greater excellence rooted and grounded in the principles of God’s Word.

We are proud to see the fruit produced in our children’s lives but also of the amazing fruit being produced in the lives of those who have gone through the school.

Their achievements in life are phenomenal but they are also people of character who have “banked God’s promises in the vault of their heart and therefore have not sinned themselves bankrupt.”

I am proud of Willow Academy for the high standard of learning and academics maintained at the school with the ability to always remember that we live in a constantly changing world with different challenges facing each generation.

The loving but unwavering discipline maintained by teachers who do not see this as just a job but truly as a calling, men and women who are willing to go more than just the extra mile –  no sacrifice too big, to make learning a holistic, enjoyable experience.
