Our Academics
“ The greatest tool in unlocking a child’s future is education.”
A child should be given the opportunity to attain the best education to unleash their true potential. Unfortunately, government schools cannot always guarantee this. In times, when classes are over packed, resources lacking and negative influences rife, our children are at the mercy of its dysfunction. It is easy for a student to be lost in the system and their abilities under-developed. Schools have been proven to be structured and rigid which also hinders the growth of a child. Children are normally at a disadvantage in the classroom and do not have the means to approach their teachers in areas that they are lost which leads to confusion and overall bad performance.
Private education promotes the freedom of the student to explore and capitalize on the best for of education.Children are vulnerable and susceptible to negativism. When exposed to the wrong environment, it can stifle their development and future. The Academy identifies the importance to provide a nutritive, moral and shielded learning environment especially in the developing years. At Morningside Private Academy it is our mission to hone and develop the greatness of every child. The institution aims to cater to every individual to deliver unique learning for children that are at a disadvantage in other schools. They are usually hindered in expressing themselves and are vastly at risk of negative influences. Morningside Private Academy ensures that it is a productive and empowering platform for these children. It will allow them to maximize on their potential. Morningside Private Academy aligns itself with the CAPS curriculum, maintaining its view of offering the best education.

ALPHA EDUCATION CURRICULUM
Fully aligned with the Department of Education requirements and curriculum, Alpha Education SA is offering the most up to date curriculum for the following Grades in Basic Education:
Intermediate Phase - Grades 4 to 6
Senior Phase - Grades 7 to 9
FET Phase - Grades 10, 11, 12
​
Alpha Education SA’s staff has been involved with the Home Schooling and Distance Learning community for the past 7 years and has learnt much about the needs, frustrations and triumphs of the Learner and Parent who chooses to educate from home.
Alpha Education SA has a large amount of experience in dealing with the limited Curriculum Providers in South Africa and has first-hand experience of the pitfalls and challenges these organisations are faced with.
Over the years we have learnt how we, as an organisation, can improve on making the Home Schooling experience a successful and rewarding pleasure. Alpha Education SA has studied the system of learning that many students use and has identified the shortfalls. This has led to the development of our A+ Study Program, a unique study program that teaches the “Self-Study” method of learning, a learning technique that will be required once the Learner moves onto University, Diploma and Certificate Courses, other Post-School Courses and Technical Colleges. Our courses incorporate this program which develops a sense of responsibility, accountability, self-discipline and last but not least improved memory skills.
​
The students who have used the program have improved their results in leaps and bounds. Although it is highly successful with the senior learners it is simple enough for a learner as young as a Grade 4 to follow and master. Remedial students have even moved onto technical colleges and earned straight A’s.
