The Five Dimensions of the Holistic Learning Space which work together to provide a foundation for your child’s future growth and development
Our mission is to provide a creative, dynamic, nurturing, safe & fun environment where the children’s emotional, physical, spiritual & intellectual well-being in the prime focus.

Our nurturing environment supports the unique sensitivities of each child, pushing them out of their comfort zones to discover their independent voices.
Physical
We promote physical activity to spark growth in children’s physical well-being and social skills.
Intellectual
At Academic Excellence, we engage the mind through different and innovative avenues for intellectual achievement.
Creative
Students are encouraged to express their fears and imagination, developing skills of confidence and self-assurance.
Social
Our programs and facilities innately develop children’s social skills of communication and cooperation.
Individualised & Group Tutoring
Individualised literacy & numeracy programs
Our tailored and personalised educational programs foster your child’s individuality creating a solid foundation for their development of core skills. We embrace the weaknesses and strengths of each child so that we can help them reach their greatest potential.
Our literacy & numeracy programs provide one on one tutoring, allowing the tutor to develop a relationship with their student, creating a comfortable & safe environment.
Our qualified team of tutors will identify the type of learner your child is so that they can tailor lessons to their specific needs. Our specialised NAPLAN lessons prepare your child for the statewide test so that they are familiar with the types of questions they will have to answer.
Small Groups
We also provide tutoring in small groups of 1 to 3 students. Learning in a small group can benefit those children who need to develop the way they interact with others their own age. This increases your child’s social skills while the small number of students in the group allows the tutor to maintain a high level of attention on each child’s specific needs.
Academic Excellence’s education services complement your child’s schooling. We follow the NSW curriculum and identify strengths and weakness in order to develop a program that specifically targets your child’s needs. Children do not learn in a singular way, therefore our trained tutors are able to help students who need to be extended, as well as those who need remediation.
Brain Training / Cognitive Development
Neuro-feedback Education
Our Brain Training service uses cutting edge technology, which enhances focus and concentration. This non invasive neurological program was initially developed by NASA to target the concentration of astronauts, however has since been developed to improve the memory and cognitive function of children. This educational technology has a neuro-feedback mechanism, promoting concentration for the user, improving short term memory sequencing, visual memory & audio and visual processing.
The program offers details reports of the students development over a period of time, allowing us to recognise any weaknesses they may have & highlighting improvements that have occurred. This service can be used as an alternative to medication for children with ADD or learning difficulties. While it is not a cure, it is a natural way to improve your child’s processing skills. After completing forty hours of the program student will experience a significant and permanent change.
Social Skill Development, Emotional Regulation & Art Therapy
Play Therapy
Play Therapy programs allow children to develop cognitive, social & emotional skills within our nurturing and safe environment encouraging student’s expression of fear, idea and imagination.
Our tailored programs, offered by our specialised therapists, facilitate your child’s social awareness & help further understand acceptable boundaries.
Children who struggle with social, emotional and cognitive difficulties, such as those that are on the Autistic Spectrum, have Oppositional Defiant Disorder and emotional regulation concerns, will greatly benefit from play therapy. We create a safe and nurturing environment that enables the teaching of social skills that will allow these children to attain a greater level of confidence, facilitate emotional growth and stimulate their imagination.
Emotional Regulation
Our Emotional Regulation classes engage your children in fun and creative dynamic interactions that are designed to improve social skills and awareness. Our trained counsellors create a safe space for self-expression, and in doing so facilitate the development of confidence and creativity.
Art Therapy
Art therapy provides children with techniques to relax & express themselves, which in turn improves physical, mental & emotional well-being. Through the freedom of expression, children become more confident & willing to present their unique & differing opinions.
Educational Assessments
Educational Assessments & Testing
Academic Excellence offers a range of assessments that help to establish a foundation for your child in order to better help tailor programmes to meet their specific needs. All of our assessments are administered within a safe and friendly environment, in which our professional staff are able to address your child’s needs and help them achieve their full potential.
Psychometric Assessments
The psychometric assessments provide objective information on your child’s learning and behavioural patterns. The assessments are based off a series of cognitive and behavioural tests in addition to IQ and academic checks that determine the child’s aptitude.
Woodcock-Johnson Assessment
The Woodcock-Johnson assessment is an alternative to the psychometric assessment. This is a standardised testing tool to gauge your child’s performance within their age group. It specifically tests intelligence in order to objectively assess their cognitive abilities.
