Ons leer deur te speel en eksperimenteer en waar moontlik prakties te werk. Ons is ten volle tweetalig en verskaf al ons onderrig in beide tale soos individuele benodig.
Ons klassies is klein om individuele aandag te verseker. Ons klasgrootte wissel volgens die ouderdomme wat ons het, maar ons neem ‘n maksimum van 10 kinders per klas in.
We are a small group of children who receive education according to each child’s own need and progress. We are on a smallholding where the children have free access to plenty of space to play and be a child.
We learn by playing and experimenting and working practically when possible. We are fully bilingual and provide all our tuition in both languages as individually required.
Our classes are small to ensure individual attention. Our class size varies according to the ages we have, we take in a maximum of 10 children per class.

ABOUT
Prinsipaal: Erieka van Rooyen
Na tien suksesvolle jare van tuisskool met my eie twee kinders, Charles Malherbe en Marieka Malherbe, het ek besluit om uit te reik na ander ouers wat graag hulle kinders wil tuisskool, maar weens verskeie redes nie self daartoe instaat is nie. Eben-ezer is plek waar kinders nog kan kindwees. Ons leer deur speel, ons bied baie praktiese onderrig om die akademiese werk beter te verstaan en ons almal werk hard aan ons doelwitte. Dit is my passie om 'n goeie opvoeding aan kinders te gee, in 'n veilige familie omgewing, en by Eben-ezer is hierdie visie daagliks deel van my lewe. Ek is geseënd om ‘n fantastiese span tutors aan my sy te hê.
Principal: Erieka van Rooyen
After ten successful years of homeschooling with my own two children, Charles Malherbe and Marieka Malherbe, I decided to reach out to other parents who would like to homeschool their children, but are not able to do so themselves due to various reasons. Eben-ezer is place where children can still be a child. We learn through play, we provide a lot of hands-on instruction to better understand the academic work and we all work hard towards our goals. It is my passion to give a good education to children, in a safe family environment, and at Eben-ezer, this vision is a daily part of my life. I am blessed to have a fantastic team of tutors by my side.

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY
Our daughter goes to Eben-ezer because she needs special attention due to her having dyslexia, she needs help to focus in a no stress environment, that only such a centre can provide. She keeps falling behind on grades, and struggles to focus, teacher's at government schools can not work at your child's learning ability and attend to every child's special needs. Thus we designed to let her join the support centre were she is able to get the best help.
We have our 3 kids in Ebenezer Academy home schooling help centre and we are really happy the growth we have seen in our kids since we have pulled them out the main stream school and put them there is phenomenal.
Also they interact more with nature and animals and God is taught about and praised in this school which government schools are no longer doing.
Our grandson had problems with his learning abilities to concentrate at the big school environment, so we have decided to Home school him. I have tried to Home school him myself, but was diagnosed with a condition about 2 years ago. I’ve been in bed more days that was possible to help him. I then asked Erieka to please help him with this. I am very happy that I have asked Erieka, as he is thriving at the Centre, as he is happy to be in an environment where he can enjoy the life on a plot.
Ons het 2 kinders in die Leersentrum. Ons is baie tevrede met die spesiale aandag wat hul kry en so nodig het, wat hul nie sou kry in gewone skool nie. Hier is geen boelies nie en kinders kan net hulself wees. Hul leer beter want hul voel goed oor hulself.
My dogter kon nie voorheen by ‘n skool regkom nie, maar vandat sy by die Leersentrum is kom sy mooi reg. Die een wat voorheen teruggehou was in ‘n gewone skool kon na die volgende graad vorder hier. Ons sal nie ons kinders weer in ‘n gewone skool terugsit nie, want hulle kry meer aandag en spesiale hulp hier by die sentrum.
