Polly Shorts is a family orientated school, looking after the best interests of each learner, taking hands with our parents by means of regular feedback as well as support, assisting in motivating our learners to become what God intended them to become.
We aim to understand the learner as a growing and learning person who needs the encouragement and support not only from the parents but also from teachers, peers and the school.

“I would like to thank you and the staff at Polly Shorts Academy for your exceptional care of my baby. He is always in such a good mood when I pick him up in the afternoon. His teacher is a wonderful woman and I can see in his manner that he loves her and receives the best of care from her. Thank you Polly Shorts Academy for not only taking care of my baby boy, but loving him and helping him develop in a safe and friendly evironment.” ~ Leandra Groenewald
In a very short space of time – I got to know the school, its Principal and teachers – their Christian based leadership is unquestionable and the foundation for learning is cemented in superior discipline. The school are most definitely building a better future for all. ~ Pieter Potgieter
Thank you for the thought, time and energy put into each child’s learning experience. I am so grateful for the special attention paid to each child. They are getting a strong academic foundation coupled with important life skills which will help them in the real world. My kids love the farm environment and enjoy working in the vegetable garden. They have already implemented what they’ve learnt at school in our home veggie garden. Teacher Teresa’s encouragement, patience and care shows how much she loves working with the kids, it has had a positive impact on all three of our children. I cannot thank you enough for all you do. ~ Michelle
“What a fantastic place for Tristan to spend days interacting with other people and kids. Piece of mind knowing that at school he is safe and will enjoy his day, learning and developing skills as he grows. The teachers and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Very happy with what Polly Shorts does for Tristan.” ~ Geoff and Rudine
“Thank you for accepting Claire at your school.
I have seen such an improvement in her well being…words are coming out more clearly, you have built so much of independence on her…
I really do appreciate!”
