Former Parent & Student Testimonials

Ben Van Rheeder – Student (Head Boy)

To all the teachers, a massive thank you from myself as you all made learning a fun and exciting experience. No two classes were the same!

They taught me to think outside of the box and go beyond the textbook. I can confidently say that my future is secure knowing I received the most incredible education in the most incredible learning environments I’ve ever come across.”

Bradley & Angela – Parents

Andrews Academy has proved itself to be a ‘School that provides Top Quality Education,’ and I hope that any learner (and parent thereof) who goes through the school system appreciates the quality of the education and the dedicated staff all around.

Dear all,

Compliments of the season!

Below is a comparison of Jessica and Joshua’s AS Level marks from 2019 at their previous school to 2020 at Andrews Academy:

Jessica
English – from 55% to 77%
Mathematics – to 71%
Business Studies – to 74%
History – from 48% to 76%

Joshua
English – from 53% to 66%
Mathematics – from 45% to 85%
Business Studies – from 41% to 78%
Accounting – from 49% to 89%

The dramatic improvement above can be attributed to the following:
  • Great dedication to their work ethic and studying by both of them (encouraged by the staff at Andrews Academy).
  • Great discipline instilled by Andrews Academy Staff.
  • Great dedication to providing a good education to the students by all Staff.
  • Constant encouragement and help from the staff at Andrews Academy.
  • Excellent ‘Lockdown’ teaching procedures ensuring no lag in their education.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the education process of our children. The dedication, guidance, patience, and encouragement shown by their teachers (in particular: Shamiso, Liam and Christian) is a testament to their results above.

Once again, thank you to all and we wish all at the school the very best!

“As a former student of Andrews Academy, I can confidently say that my time there was an incredibly positive and enriching experience. The school provided a supportive and nurturing environment that made learning both enjoyable and effective.

One of the standout aspects of Andrews Academy was the dedication of the teachers. They truly took the time to ensure that every student understood the material, offering additional support whenever needed. Their patience, encouragement, and commitment to our success made a significant impact on my education.

The smaller class sizes also contributed to a more focused and personalized learning experience. With fewer students per class, we received more individual attention, which greatly enhanced our ability to grasp concepts and engage in meaningful discussions.

Beyond academics, the school fostered a strong sense of community. During my time there, the students were kind, respectful, and supportive of one another, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. It was a place where friendships were formed, and where students felt a sense of belonging.

I am grateful for the foundation that the school provided me, both academically and personally. It played a key role in shaping my confidence and work ethic, preparing me for the next steps in my educational journey.

I highly recommend Andrews Academy to any student looking for a well-rounded and supportive learning environment.”

George Mathew – Parent

Dad, why did you waste my time at the last two schools? These were my daughter’s exact words. She is one of my two children at Andrews Preparatory. Her brother is in Grade 3 and she is in Grade 5.

“She is one of my two children at Andrews Preparatory. Her brother is in Grade 3 and she is in Grade 5.

Enrolling our children at Andrews Preparatory was a temporary measure while we looked for a traditional school at which our children would get quality education. My wife wanted a school that taught Christian values and produced good grades. I wanted a school that taught our children how to learn. For me grades were not a big deal. Only the quality of learning skills mattered, the most.

My wife and I did not know anything about the ACE curriculum that is taught at Andrews Preparatory School. A meeting with Caryn left me fascinated by it, but my wife had more questions and doubt. Although she liked the Christianity bit, she did not see ACE delivering the grades.

Meanwhile, our daughter was struggling with the new way of learning. The absence of teacher driven lessons, setting her own study goals and taking responsibility for attaining the goals was different in a radical way. We also did not know how to assist her. The apparent lack of classroom teaching frustrated us. It felt like our daughter was at a distance learning center. We wondered why we had to pay for tuition when our child was doing everything on her own, or so it seemed.

The turning point was when I attended the one-day ACE Parental Orientation class, conducted by Caryn. “A day in the life of an ACE student” is an apt description of that day. We were taught to learn how our children learn. Caryn did not teach us how our children did their learning. On our own, we learnt how they were learning. Caryn just facilitated the process. I shared my experience with my wife and we agreed to keep our children at Andrews Academy, a decision we will never regret.

It’s close to a year now and there are so many positive changes in our children’s academics. My wife’s favorite is that the children have taken ownership of their learning. Whenever they have homework or a project, they are self-motivated to complete it without us nagging, because they are clear about what they want to achieve.

Andrews Preparatory School equips children with learning skills, productive work ethics and Christian values. Without doubt, these are the most important ingredients for a complete and successful life. We are thankful to Caryn and her team for the sterling job.”

Lungowe Butt – Parent

My sincere gratitude and thanks to the Principals, teachers and all staff members for transforming and shaping Zahrah’s life with strong Christian values and beliefs. Allowing her to flourish into this confident, public speaker, fun-loving, and resilient adult.

Six remarkable formidable formative years!!!

First year at Andrews Academy my thirteen year old daughter was somewhat shy and shaky. Her final year at the school at eighteen can’t even be compared to the first.

My sincere gratitude and thanks to the Principals, teachers and all staff members for transforming and shaping Zahrah’s life with strong Christian values and beliefs.

Allowing her to flourish into this confident public speaker, fun loving and resilient adult. Where we fell short as parents the confirmation and validation you gave to support her life journey cannot go unrecognized. (thank you Friday Youth, thank you Martin!)

Many times my family heard her start a sentence with, ‘Christian said’. Overtime we learnt this meant the topic of discussion had already been debated and settled. God continue to bless your personal efforts in meeting each child at their point of need and giving of yourselves into these young precious lives. Yours faithfully
