We Have Parents That We Could Not Dream Of!

The support, dedication and love from the parents has been overwhelming, and a big contribution towards the success of WYLA. The parents make it easy for us to be a family and we love them very much.


They thank us for the work we do with their children and we thank them for trusting us with their children.


This is why we do our utmost best to give our boys and girls the best future we can offer them and set them up for the greatness they have to come.

"My daughter has personally excelled since she started her journey with WYLA. She’s quite a quiet child, however she has an inner power that I have seen emerging, and it’s a beautiful process to witness. She’s like a flower blooming and this can only be viewed as a positive! She has what I call “ quiet power”. In her school she would never be exposed to public speaking, cultural affirmation, pride and overall high personal standards. I’m so very proud and extremely grateful."

Proud Parent

"I have seen a big difference in my children since they have been attending WYLA. I do not have to wake them up on a Saturday morning, which is a big thing for us and they’re always stressing about getting there on time. They wish that they could go to WYLA everyday!"

Proud Parent

"WYLA has taught my son subjects that  he would not learn in his weekday school, and has helped him to develop a positive sense of Self."
