Since the opening of Edify Academy, Edify has been featured in several major news outlets reporting on the rapid rise of homeschooling in South Africa.
As more families reassess traditional education, the conversation around flexibility, affordability, and personalised learning has taken centre stage. In these discussions, Edify’s founders, Wynand and Gemay van Heerden, have been recognised as experts in the field—offering valuable insight into why many parents are choosing to step away from conventional schooling models.
Their perspective highlights a clear shift: parents are increasingly drawn to the adaptable nature of homeschooling, where learning can be tailored to a child’s pace, strengths, and individual needs. At the same time, rising private school costs have placed pressure on families, prompting many to explore more sustainable alternatives.
Edify Academy has positioned itself as a trusted partner in this transition, supporting both parents and learners with structured guidance, academic support, and accessible programmes designed to make homeschooling both manageable and effective.
