Parent Testimonials

Our son has been in Edusmart since Grade 1 and is now in Grade 3. We searched for a school with a “cottage school” feel, being small classes and more especially a loving environment.We received this and more. Our child has been so happy in Edusmart and I would recommend this school to anyone.My deepest thanks to all the staff at Edusmart for your true love and care of all the children at Edusmart.

As ouers is ons so bly dat ons seun by Edusmart Akademie is. Beide die beheerliggaam en die onderwysers is uitstekend en wil net die beste vir die kinders hê. Toe ons seun by Edusmart aanvaar is, was dit duidelik hoeveel hulle omgee en dit wys in sy vordering en ons kon nie gelukkiger wees met die skool nie en is Edusmart ons diepste dank verskuldig.

I am incredibly grateful for the amazing environment my daughter’s school provides. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and truly invested in each child’s growth and success. The school not only focuses on academic excellence but also nurtures character, confidence, and kindness in the students. My daughter feels supported, inspired, and excited to learn every day. It’s such a blessing to see her thrive in a place that values both education and personal development. We are truly thankful to be part of such a wonderful school community.

Intermediate Phase, Mom

We are deeply grateful to Futuresmart for the incredible progress out son has made this year. When he started, English was new to him as we are an Afrikaans family, yet he is now able to read with confidence and enthusiasm. His favourite subject is Maths as it is presented in a fun and concrete way. His growth in both ability and self-assurance has been remarkable. What stands out most is how the teachers truly see and accept him for who he is – meeting him at his level and nurturing his individual abilities and strengths. The care, patience and commitment shown by the staff have allowed him to flourish in ways we could only hope and pray for. We are so thankful to be part of such a supportive and inspiring school community.

It is the best decision we made as parents to enroll him at this amazing school. I know this school is going to go from strength to strength and I wish our school a lot of success

IEP Senior Phase, Mom

Our daughter is both ADHD and on the autism spectrum, and finding the right school environment for her felt incredibly difficult. From the moment she started at Edusmart, we knew we had found a place where children who don’t fit into the traditional “box” are not only accepted, but understood.
Throughout her primary school years she has felt loved, supported, and valued for who she is. The staff have an incredible ability to see each child as an individual and to nurture their strengths while gently supporting their challenges. Our daughter has grown in confidence because she has always felt safe and encouraged here. We know that Mila is loved for who she is.
What has meant just as much to us as parents, is the support that we received along the way. Navigating the journey of raising a neurodiverse child can sometimes feel overwhelming, but the school walked that path with us. Their care, patience, understanding, and guidance have been immeasurable.
We will always be deeply grateful for the role this school has played in our daughter’s life and in our family’s journey.
Mila has now started grade 8 at Edusmart College and we are grateful and looking forward to a wonderful high school career.

*A Rare Gift*
As I reflect on the years Caleb has spent within the EduSmart family, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude. It has been a remarkable journey to watch my son grow alongside this institution from the early days at EduSmart, through the growth of FutureSmart, and now into EduSmart College. As the school flourished and expanded, Caleb was right there, maturing and growing with you every step of the way.
Thank you, Edusmart Group, for your vision and for the strong moral foundation you provide. You have created an environment where Caleb doesn’t just learn but where he truly belongs. You don’t just teach; you mentor, protect, and inspire. As a mother, there is no greater peace than knowing your child is being shaped by such high values and care for his character. ” *Tannie Marianne”, you have been a pillar of strength for Caleb and a true blessing to me.* More than a teacher, you have become family. When life hit us the hardest, you were there, standing right beside us. That kind of support is a rare gift that I will carry in my heart forever.
You haven’t just educated my son; you have helped raise him with the right values. You are so much more than a school to us. You are family.

A school so exceptional, I have all three of my children enrolled.
Edusmart Academy and Edusmart College have truly been a wonderful choice for our family. The teachers are dedicated and create a supportive, welcoming environment where children are excited to learn and develop a real love for learning.
Thank you for giving our children not only quality education, but also so much care, encouragement and personal attention. It is a place where my children are genuinely happy, supported and inspired to grow every day.

Edusmart Academy is an exceptional school for children who don’t fit the traditional mainstream mold. Here, students are free to develop into who they are meant to be—without anxiety, sadness, or a constant fight-or-flight response. It fosters happy, secure, well-rounded, and emotionally balanced children.
Finding Edusmart Academy was a true blessing for our family, it completely changed our household. My son has been attending since Grade 3 and will be moving on to Grade 7 next year. He truly loves school and learning now. The smaller class sizes allow him to focus, and the individualized attention from his teachers helps him to understand the material presented. He is a happy kid, and so are we. Thank you, Edusmart Academy, for being such a wonderful part of our son’s academic journey.
