A Christian tutor centre that has served Krugersdorp since 2010
Tuisskool Akademie is a Christian tutor centre for Impaq homeschool learners in Krugersdorp. Christian principles, values and practices are the base of everything we do. Our main language of teaching is Afrikaans, and we actively keep the Afrikaans language and culture alive.
The centre was founded in 2010 by Yolanda Hurter. In 2014 it passed to Estelle Castanho, who had tutored at the centre from the start. Estelle holds a BEd (Intermediate and Senior Phase) with Afrikaans and Psychology as main subjects, and, most importantly, a real passion for children, their teaching and their upbringing.
We are a registered Tutor Centre (H1500). We use the CAPS-aligned curriculum provided by Impaq, and we receive academic support from Impaq. We help learners with the support of their parents, who remain responsible for their child's education.

Questions parents ask
What is Impaq homeschooling?
Impaq (sometimes written Impak) is a South African homeschool curriculum provider. Our registered curriculum provider, Impaq/Optimi, is registered with SACAI and Umalusi. Families teach at home or at a tutor centre like ours.
Why Impaq as curriculum provider?
Impaq is registered with SACAI, which works directly with the Department of Education, so the curriculum follows CAPS. Learners do exactly the same work as learners in ordinary state schools.
What does a normal day look like?
The centre runs from 08:00 to 13:30. We open with a scripture reading and prayer, and there are two 20-minute breaks with no phones. A timetable is followed, but learners work at their own pace.
Who sets the tests, exams and portfolio tasks?
Impaq sets them, and SACAI does so for Grade 10 to 12. We make sure everything is handed in on time and that marks are loaded on the system by the dates Impaq provides.
Do learners get term reports?
Yes. Final results are only confirmed by Impaq after the November exams.
Is there physical exercise?
Yes. The Life Orientation section, which includes physical exercise, is part of the programme.
Can my child attend part-time?
Yes, for a maximum of two days a week. More than that counts as full-time. Part-time learners are helped with subject content they do not understand, and parents stay responsible for their child's education. Tests and exam fees apply if they write with us.
How do fees work?
Full-time fees are worked out over 11 months of the year, with tests and exams included, and are due on or before the 3rd of each month. There is a 10% discount for the second learner from the same family. Test and exam supervision for external learners is charged separately. Contact us for the current fee schedule.
In which language do you teach?
Our main language of teaching is Afrikaans. We actively look after the Afrikaans language and culture.

We are at the Keywest Shopping Centre (Action Sport), on the corner of Cecil Knight and Viljoen Street, Krugersdorp, in Mogale City (1739).
