Welridge Academy

Welridge Academy is a private educational institution registered with the Gauteng Department of Education. Conveniently located in Roodepoort, we have been an integral part of the Weltevreden Park community for many years. The current owners, Andries and Veronica Nel, acquired the school in September 2008. In addition to being a well-established Pre-School, Welridge Academy was in the initial stages of moving into the Primary School education sector at the time. Our vision has always been to provide high-quality, private education that is accessible to and affordable for the average-income household. We focus on creating an environment that encourages our students to actively engage in their education and skills development. Welridge Academy’s Pre-School welcomes children aged 1 year to Grade 00, while the Primary School caters to students from Grade R to Grade 7. We also provide a safe and nurturing Aftercare program, which includes a nutritious, cooked lunch and supervised homework time. Led by our dedicated and enthusiastic principal, Mr. Beyers Bresler, our team of highly skilled teachers strives to foster a sense of family within our school. Participation in sports and cultural activities is encouraged to ensure that each child reaches their full potential both inside and outside of the classroom. At Welridge Academy, we are committed to contributing to the transformation of education in South Africa and we strongly believe that education holds the key to a formidable future for our youth and our country.
