Based on these principles, the A.C.E. curricu-lum assures parents of:

Because EveryChild Is OneIn His Kind
John Maxwell writes:If you aim for nothing,
chances are big youare going to reachwhat you aim for.
In Eldamah Academy every child is in a class of his own. Students sit in theirown offices. When assistance is required, the student raises an academic flag. A supervisor will then attend tothe student’s question, in that office, privately.
We will be a double medium school from 2013. In Foundation phase (Gr.RR. - Gr.3) children are taught in aclassroom, in their own mother tongue. From Gr. 4-12 student’s learn in a learning centre, seated in theirindividual offices, and assisted in their own mother tongue.
In subjects like science, maths, biology and technical drawings, students are assisted by supervisors specializingin those specific subject fields. Where appropriate teaching takes place in specific centres of expertise forexample the science lab or technical centres.
All teachers are required to be registered with the South African Council of Educators.

Ryan Leigh Anderson who graduated with ACE, started in 2006 at theUniversity of Pretoria with his BSc in Geography. After completion he wasaccepted to do a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Management and Analysis.He attained a distinction, and recieved the Top Honours Student Award.
During this time, he had the opportunity to be involved in a meteorologycourse in which a community project was planned and executed for a schoolin rural Venda. The school, having limited access to water and sanitation,needed a reliable source of water. They addressed this need by building aFog Net. This structure collects the morning fog and rain during storms andstores it in 10 000 litre tanks. This project was a success, as it did not onlyaddress issues of sanitation, but also brought together a community that wasdivided by power struggles. Ryan is currently enrolled in UP for a Mastersdegree in BSc.
was awarded the Golden Medal award in2010 from the association of South African Quantity Survey-ors (ASAQS). This prestigious award is given to the bestall-round students in the final year of study from any of theseven accredited Universities in the country.

The gift of
From: The Community
To: The Community
Many things that seemed impossible in years gone by have becomecommon place in modern society. We pick up the telephone and makea call to a friend across town or in another country without giving athought to Alexander Graham Bell who in 1875 invented the firsttelephone. Walking into your home, you flick on the light switch andmay take for granted the fact that until 1879 homes were illuminatedby oils and gas lamps and not the electric light bulb invented byThomas Edison during that year. In 1903 the world celebrated thefirst powered flight with the Wright Brothers. In 1963 the first humanset foot on the moon. In 1967 the first heart transplant was performedby Professor Christiaan Barnard and in 1970 the first personalizedcomputer was produced.
More so, than anything else, we are influenced and shaped by oureducation. If we want to shape and influence the future, there are but afew tools as effective as educating our children, to be not mere intellectualgiants, but in discipline, self leadership, Godly character, to be goodmothers and fathers, productive citizens and, ultimately, to be a genera-tion of integrity.
Recently, one of the farmers in our region, who understood the valueof quality education, donated 7 hectares of property to Eldamah Acad-emy. Once again we are faced with the seemingly impossible. 7 Hec-tares of rich soil ready to be worked and tilled to produce, not cornand wheat but human potential. Yes, we will! No! We MUST open thedoor and take hold of this opportunity to establish this educationalcentre.
A fully developed double medium educational facility ...that will challenge the mainstream concept of education in South Africa.
