Looking for the right space for your golf-captivated learner that will offer both a quality, wholistic education as well as world-class golf instruction? Welcome to McKenna Academies.
Education is evolving and so must we. Both a learning lab and a golf performance academy, McKenna (in partnership with Evolve Online School) is the prefect choice for any golf-passionate child who is also looking for a revolutionary education.
In their mission to develop superhumans, rather than just ‘super stars’, McKenna has partnered with Evolve Online School (an AdvTECH school) to ensure their pupils receive relevant, modern online education.
“Evolve is designed to take each child on a journey of personal mastery, using trend-setting curriculum mapping systems developed by MIT, where they progress at their own deliberate or accelerated pace. We are committed to guiding your child through an educational adventure of self-discovery and subject mastery and our goal is to help them quickly excel in areas of interest and strength, and progress steadily in areas where they need more time and focused attention to succeed,” says Evolve Online founder and principal Colin Northmore.
Students will attend the online school at McKenna Academies Learning Lab, which is situated in the beautiful grounds of Umhlali Country Club, under excellent guidance and tutoring whilst completing their education.
The academy aims to support and develop the students in all aspects of life, creating a completely wholesome and inclusive education whilst offering high-performance golf instruction.
Headed up by class AAA PGA professional Emile Steinmann (who has coached and developed numerous Professional Tournament players), the golf performance academy is of a world class standard.
