Thank you to Koa Academy from the bottom of our hearts Subject: Thank you Koa Academy Team Dear Koa Academy Team, From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You. When we joined the Koa family in January 2026, we hoped we were making the right decision for our daughter. Just a few months later, we know without a doubt that we were. What began as a leap of faith has become one of the best choices we have ever made as parents. Our daughter is a Grade 4A learner, and the joy she has found in her schooling journey with Koa Academy has truly moved us. So much so, that even as our family prepares to relocate to another country, she has made one thing absolutely clear, she is staying with Koa Academy. That alone speaks volumes about the environment, the warmth, and the sense of belonging your team has created for her. Her dedication is reflected in results we are incredibly proud of. She is carrying an average of 90%. But beyond the marks, what fills our hearts even more is watching her grow in confidence. She is no longer just meeting her targets; she is setting new ones for herself and surpassing them. She is self-motivated, curious, and believes in her own abilities in a way that is truly beautiful to witness as her parents. This growth did not happen by accident. It is the direct result of the passion, dedication, and care that every member of the Koa Academy team pours into their work each and every day. You have not only educated our daughter, you have helped her discover her niche, find her voice, and believe in herself. To each teacher, especially the Grade 4A teacher in 2026, every facilitator, and team member who plays a role in shaping young lives like hers, please know that your efforts are seen, felt, and deeply appreciated. You are making a lasting difference in the life of our child, and for that, our family is forever grateful. With heartfelt gratitude and so much appreciation. Proud Koa Academy Grade 4A parents.
Dear Koa Academy Team, We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the incredible online learning experience you have provided to our daughter. She has successfully completed Term 1 of Grade 4 with an outstanding overall average of 90%, with her individual subject results exceeding this benchmark. This achievement is a true reflection of the dedication, care, and excellence demonstrated by the entire Koa Academy team. We must admit, we were initially skeptical about how well she would adapt and thrive in an online learning environment after transitioning from a traditional school system. Having experienced both public and private schooling over the years, we had yet to find an environment that truly unlocked her full potential. Koa Academy has done exactly that and more. A very special thank you to the Grade 4 Form Teacher, as well as all the teachers involved with the Grade 4 learners in 2026. Your commitment, encouragement, and passion for education have made a meaningful and lasting impact on our daughter’s growth and confidence. We are incredibly grateful and look forward to the continued journey ahead after the holidays. Thank you once again, Koa Academy, for making such a positive difference. Warm regards, Adam Beruch Kolia Parent of a Grade 4 learner at Koa Academy
Subject: Thank you Koa Academy Dearest Koa Academy Team, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work you have done in creating such a brilliant online school. As we near the end of our first week, I can confidently say that I have no complaints. Your staff have shown remarkable patience and understanding, and the teachers dedicate time to ensure that every concept is explained thoroughly to the children. From an IT perspective, your systems are impressively secure—locked down tighter than Fort Knox—and that gives me great peace of mind. I even spent time this week looking for loopholes, but found none, which speaks volumes about the strength of your platform. A special thank you goes to Joanel Lemmer for her patience and the clarity with which she teaches the Grade 4 class of 2026. Lauren and Mark, your vision for Koa Academy is truly inspiring, and it is evident in the way the school operates. Amani has already expressed that she never wishes to return to a traditional school setting, which is a testament to the success of your approach. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for welcoming us into the Koa Family. We wish you continued success with this extraordinary online school. Kind Regards, Adam Beruch Kolia
It’s 2026, and we’re thrilled to see our daughter begin her new school journey as a proud “Koala” at Koa Academy. After many years of trying traditional schools, we chose to embrace this new chapter with Koa—one of South Africa’s top-rated online schools, consistently earning 5-star reviews on Hello Peter and Google. When parents and children alike speak so highly of their experience, it says everything about the professionalism, integrity, and care that Koa Academy brings to learners, families, and the wider South African community. Well done, Koa Academy—joining you in 2026 has truly been the best decision we’ve made.

Foneyam truly makes owning a smart device effortless. It’s the easiest and simplest way to get a smartphone or tablet without being tied down to long-term contracts. I’ve already received my second device through Foneyam after paying off my first one, and the added bonus of monthly insurance against theft, loss, or damage gives me complete peace of mind. Honestly, choosing Foneyam has been the best decision ever for getting a smart device!
Subject: Reassurance on Koa Academy’s Accreditation Good morning Koa Academy Team, I hope you're all doing well. A recent news article has raised concerns about bogus online schools and their accreditation status in South Africa. You can view the article here: 🔗 https://search.app/5KdHy As a parent with a child starting home education with Koa Academy in 2026, I’ve taken time to research this topic thoroughly. Should other parents raise questions, here’s what I’ve personally confirmed: ✅ Koa Academy is registered with the IEB, a respected private assessment body that sets and administers the NSC exams for Grade 12 learners. ✅ The IEB is accredited by Umalusi, which means the NSC qualification earned through Koa is officially recognized within the South African education system. ✅ For Grades 4–9, Koa operates under the home education model. Parents must register their children with the Department of Basic Education (DBE), and Koa provides guidance and support throughout this process. ✅ Koa Academy is not listed on Umalusi’s database, but its partnership with the IEB ensures learners receive a Umalusi-accredited matric certificate. This is a standard arrangement among reputable online schools in South Africa. For families planning their child’s academic journey with Koa, this means their matric qualification will be fully recognized, and the school’s support structure will help them navigate DBE registration with confidence. These details align with what parents are told during introductory meetings with Mark Anderson and the Koa Academy team, so there’s no cause for concern. Please feel free to share this message with any parents who may be worried after seeing the article. I’m also happy to speak with prospective families who’d appreciate hearing from another parent.
My wife, daughter and I are grateful to the entire team at Life Hospital Mount Edgecombe. On the 11 October 2024, our daughter was playing at home after returning from school. She fell off the couch resulting in a fracture to her left elbow. She was operated on last night. Every staff member at Life Hospital Mount Edgecombe was kind, caring and gave us excellent medical care. Our daughter stayed the night with my wife, the service from every hospital staff member was exceptional. Being new to Durban, we are impressed by the excellent service from the doctors, nurses, radiology staff, cleaners and every staff member who made our daughter's overnight stay an amazing one. Thank you, Life Hospital Mount Edgecombe. Kind Regards. Mr. Kolia
