Welcome to Koa Academy

The online IEB school with small classes for high engagement for Grades 4 – 12.

Why the name Koa?

The wood of a Koa tree is both flexible and strong. That’s how we’ve built our online school. We give families true flexibility and learning is individualised, while at the same time being robust and structured.

Our Pods are highly engaging, which lets us focus on a robust academic education as well as socio-emotional development. Learners work at their own pace with constant connection to peers and a team of qualified and experienced teachers.

Our Pods

Each learner is placed into a Pod of 8. That’s right – 8. We’ve always wanted smaller classes, and now we have them! Our virtual classes are highly engaging and accountable, where everyone has an opportunity to be seen and heard. Each Pod has a dedicated Pod Teacher who meets with them regularly throughout the week, providing focused support.

Our Pillars

Koa is custom-built on best practices in education to maximise the benefits of online learning for each individual. Koa’s unique approach was specifically created to be:

Engaging

We believe that learning happens best in real community. People are connected in meaningful ways to others and their work. At Koa, no one is just a number.

Accountable

With great power comes great responsibility. We know that accountability is key, so we have tools and rhythms which hold everyone accountable – no more guessing!

Real-World Relevant

The world is changing faster than ever! So rather than simply presenting ‘traditional school on a screen’, we have re-designed the online learning experience to reflect real life and develop individuals who are strong and adaptable, ready for the future world of work.

Our Values

Want to know what it takes to succeed at Koa? These three values guide our actions as a school and are true for all of our learners and teachers.
