Why choose us
Arden Academy was founded in 2017 by Leandra van Der Veen, a qualified and experienced Remedial Therapist and teacher. Her vision for the school offers learners an individualised, practical and fun - filled learning experience; making it a refreshing alternative to the outdated and rigid school teaching methodology.
All Arden Academy teachers are qualified and trained professionals, dedicated to facilitating the growth and development of children. Whether learners are at mainstream level or present with learning challenges, they are taught according to their OWN cognitive, emotional and physical pace. Class numbers are limited to no more than 10 per class and are divided into Arden Baby (6 weeks -2 years), Arden Junior (3-6 years), Arden Primary (7-12 years) and Arden High (13-19 years). The large premises provide opportunities for the school to grow and to offer exciting high school options in the near future.
