Welisa Academy is an initiative of Welisa Projects, a not-for-profit company, whose raison d'être is to facilitate access to quality learning for under-resourced communities. The Academy uses innovative, disruptive and subversive methods - which include exploring philosophies, theories and methods of learning, both ancient and contemporary, to ensure learning that emancipates the individual and leads to independent thinking and confident pursuit of one's goals. We provide additional support to students in both mainstream schools and to those taking a second shot at learning after fallen off the system for one reaosn or another. We also promote love for reading. Our language laboratory ensures the development of that all-important confidence and progress enabler, language skills.
