Our Vision

A centre that students look forward to attending in the mornings, and leave each afternoon with a feeling of confidence and accomplishment.

To do this, we strive to deliver a more interesting and relevant way of presenting ideas and information: modern technology that students are already comfortable with and proficient in, combined with tutoring strategies that inspire communication and learning.

Our Philosophy

Young children have an insatiable thirst to learn. It is a tragedy that school often dampens a child’s natural curiosity. Swordfish Academy uses an enquiry method that works to restore an interest in learning about ourselves, what we can do and how the world around us operates.

Each individual naturally works at their own pace. In order to benefit fully, students need to be in an environment that supports and guides them at a pace they feel comfortable with, without trying to force them to fit a convenient mould.

Our environment supports and guides learning in a dynamic, fluid state without trying to force learners to be rigidly determined academically and emotionally.

Everyone has talents and strengths; they just need to find them. Some people’s talents do not fall within the ambit of traditional schooling, but this doesn’t make them less valuable. They need continuous encouragement and support. Then they can move on to do the things they’re really passionate about.

As Swordfish Academy works with small groups of students, we are frequently able to work on a one-on-one basis with our students. This helps them grow their individual talents and overcome problem areas. We also nurture emotional growth and individual strength so that our students step out into the world as confident adults.
