Located in a 28-building campus in Henley-on-Klip, the Leadership Academy is a state-of-the-art, independent school that engenders high standards of academic achievement and service leadership for girls from all nine South African provinces who show outstanding promise despite their impoverished backgrounds and social circumstances.

When love beckons to you follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep.And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword hidden among his pinionsMay wound you.And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams As the north wind lays waste the garden.For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.Even as he is for your growth So is he for your pruning.

Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
Good friends must not always be together; It is the feeling of oneness when distant That proves a lasting friendship.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love
