Future-Focused STEM and Financial Education at Kids Academy Africa
Preparing Young Minds for Tomorrow’s Business World
Dear Parents, while schools teach EMS (Economic and Management Sciences), the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence means many of the skills being taught today may be automated tomorrow. At Kids Academy Africa, we believe in preparing children not just for the world they live in — but for the one they’re going to inherit.
Starting in 2026, we are proud to introduce a groundbreaking entrepreneurship and financial literacy extra-mural programme, specially designed to fill the gaps not currently covered by the national CAPS curriculum.
This new initiative, introduced at the insistence of our founder, aims to develop entrepreneurial thinkers, future business leaders, and financially savvy individuals — all from a young age.
