Kwena Education
At Kwena Education, we’re redefining what education looks like. We believe that every learner has unique goals, and we provide the support and flexibility to help them achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We offer a pathway to the GED® for learners who are pursuing multiple goals at once or want to earn their grade 12 alternative faster. Whether you’re looking to complete your grade 12 or achieve a new qualification, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Our vision is to become the largest alternative education hub in South Africa. We want to reshape the way education works, making it more accessible, flexible, and focused on individual potential.
At Kwena Education, we are challenging the traditional, linear model of education. We believe that education should be personalized, adaptable, and empowering, enabling learners to achieve their potential and beyond.
We aim at serving learners working toward their GED® while pursuing other personal or career goals; people who still want to earn their grade 12; and those who want to finish their grade 12 more quickly. Kwena Education is for everyone who is ready to take charge of their future.
