Zóé Academy, Krugersdorp

Zoe is a Greek meaning “God kind of life”. Therefore it is Zoe’s vision, for each student as well as our whole body, to live a Godly, Christlike life. Zoe’s whole year is filled with activities to help each person grow to become a Christlike figure. To start off this process, we have a 12-week foundation course “Under Construction” at the beginning of the year. During this time the aim is to break down all walls that may prevent us from getting where we are supposed to go. It may be painful at first, examining yourself, being pushed out of your comfort zone, but in the end, with all the valuable truths that are invested and imparted, each person can come out at the other side a version than before…If you choose to take what is offered – a change, a new mindset – you will see that it's worth it. Through discovering the "Father heart" of God, your gifts and how you are put together, your character and many other truths about life and God, you learn the purpose for your coming to earth and you start working towards it…living a God kind of live! During the rest of the year are outreaches where we have the opportunity of minister and live out our calling, bringing His message to the world. It is our aim to reach and affect the whole community, bringing God’s ways to society. Through the arts, teachings, community service etc. we want to show the world the “God kind of life”! To help us prepare for life ahead, we train in all areas of life: from arts courses to academic and theological studies, even Adventure courses for adrenaline junkies… We all practice and find our passion, becoming the best we can be, using all God gave us. All this, thrown together, provides each student with a year in which body, mind and spirit is fed, given a chance to grow so that all three can be used to their full potential, in the original purpose for which they were created. The world had become a place where people miss so much of life…since they don’t know the "Giver of life".
