Extra Curricular

One of the great benefits of an unbundled education is that families have the time, flexibility and freed up resources to pursue particular interests outside of the school. As a matter of fact, Koa has several learners who attend the school specifically for this reason, allowing them to focus on their interests, get professional training, and develop a broader friendship base for healthy socialisation.

Clubs

Our opt-in Koa Clubs are a highlight for many of our learners. Held every week, and led by a team of teachers and
learners, they foster a range of passions and give learners another great opportunity to connect meaningfully.

Head of Arts and Culture:

Majozi

We are thrilled to have Majozi as our Head of Arts and
Culture. Majozi is an award-winning South African
musician and is passionate about creating a space in
education for cultural and artistic passions to flourish.

In-Person Socials

A big part of being an engaging school is having a community of people who we can interact with meaningfully. During the day, our learners get to connect with each other in a healthy, intentional online space. But we also want to create the opportunity for in-person socialisation. So every term we conduct in-person events in cities around the country. These events go a long way to helping our families form connections which may develop into meaningful friendships.

Typically, there are two types of events:

Socials

This is when we simply get together for some fun! We’ll let you know what we’re up to, and you can come along with the whole family.

Recently, we have been art jamming, laser tagging, zip lining, ice skating and more!

Educational Outings

These events are similar to our socials, but have an educational twist. We’re on a mission to have a good time, connect, and learn all at once.

We’ve done experiments at the Science Centre, explored the Taal monument, dissected sharks, had a scavenger hunt in a history museum, and more!
