DESTINY LIFE ACADEMY

from LIFE & STYLE SEPTEMBER 2020

SOMERSET LODGE

“Over the past 10 years Destiny Life Academy (DLA) has been honoured to welcome students into high school and help them lay a strong foundation for the future. We pride ourselves on being a small school with a strong

Christian ethos and a warm family culture which often leads to spontaneous mentor relationships between our junior and senior students. Leadership is encouraged regardless of the grade of the student as we believe that every student adds value and offers a unique contribution to the Destiny Life Academy family.

Our academic programme is designed to allow our students to pursue future careers in Science, the Arts, Commerce and the Humanities. Whilst we are grateful for the blessing of a 100% pass rate at Grade 12 level since our first graduating class wrote the NSC in 2015, we recognize that this achievement is a collaborative effort of motivated students, their supportive parents, and passionate teachers.

The quality of this educational investment has enabled our Grade 12 students to pursue their passions at tertiary institutions both nationally and internationally with great success. We’re grateful for the opportunity to create an atmosphere wherein the next generation is nurtured and encouraged to explore their unique gifts and talents, ‘catch their wind’ and soar towards their God given destinies.

This year we celebrate our 10th anniversary and the rise of Generation Z in the classroom as we moved learning online due to the covid-19 pandemic. I am most impressed by the tenacity and commitment exhibited within the DLA family at large but especially by our students during a very challenging season and I do not doubt that this will have a lasting positive impact on our trajectory mapped out by our Heavenly Father.
