“We love being part of a school that keeps evolving. A vibrant school that tries new things, keeps the best of the past and continues to grow & learn alongside our inquisitive creative child.”

“While one [child] has flourished in public schools, the other needed an environment where he could express his unique self. We found that at Khabele where every child is encouraged to learn and to be themselves. “

“Khabele is a school that has encouraged my child to think on his own, to not be afraid to learn, to be willing to share his ideas and help make them reality.”

“The most unique aspect of the school is the emphasis on character. We feel like our child is in good hands with good people.”

“Khabele School has been a large part of my son's blossoming over the past few years. He went from a self-conscious shy kid to a well-spoken confident young man.”

“The school combines nurturing and mentoring that creates an environment to develop self and embrace learning and community. Classroom participation is required but the environment brings it out naturally.”

“The school is unique in that students and teachers often sit together at lunch, and communicate on deeper levels. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a quality, meaningful education.”

“It is a warm nurturing environment that encourages students to try new things and grow. The kids love it! The teachers also seem to enjoy their jobs and the parents feel comfortable and welcome.”

“I found the curriculum at Khabele to be light years ahead from a college prep perspective, much more focused on how to learn... Khabele works for a range of learning styles, strengths and capabilities.”

“Khabele doesn't just prepare kids for more schooling, it aims at preparing them to be fulfilled and contributing human beings.”

“We were looking for an environment where he learned to love school and learning (again), where he was known individually by the teachers and students, and where he would be with both older and younger kids from diverse backgrounds. Khabele has met all of these expectations…”

“[Our daughter] really enjoys the advanced curriculum and all the interesting people she has discussions with daily. Khabele also REALLY embraces the creative side of the kids (music, art, dance, writing, drama) - just a super balance that has totally won our family over!!”

“The kids actually want to be there, and they're nice to each other. The school really stresses (& discusses) things like leadership, responsibility, generosity, sympathy, etc. -which is so important. I just wish Khabele was around when I was a kid!”

“Are there misfits, trouble makers and distractions that need to be addressed? Of course! After all, the centerpiece of the community are school-aged kids learning how to make better choices and function with integrity. As for me, I'd rather have my child learn these valuable lessons in a safe, committed environment. Khabele offers that.”

“This is a school where passions are uncovered, expectations are high, and students develop into self-motivated learners committed to making the world a better place.”

“Students are challenged to be compassionate, kind, and supportive of one another. I do not know of another school that supports personal growth and honors diversity like Khabele.”

“At Khabele, she learned how to nurture her own self esteem and confidence and she even developed a student mentorship program, became a student teacher, and founded the theater program...all of which earned her their Freedom Award for Leadership Excellence. Using those same skills in college, she makes good grades, is a senator of her dorm and has earned a weekly column in the school paper. We never dreamed she would attend an Ivy League school!”

“Our child just scored mega-high on the SAT and I know that score reflects not only his high intellectual ability but also his love of learning and his love of school as a result of attending Khabele.”

“After four years, we can look back with gratitude and forward with enthusiasm. Khabele is a one of a kind school and we are so fortunate to be a part of this community.”

“The Khabele School is a fertile place for learning and growing. As a former AISD teacher, I was very impressed with the students desire to go to school and the enjoyment obvious on their faces!”

“From the mission to the vision to the curriculum to the teachers, we have been very excited and pleased with the school. Most importantly, our daughter wants to be the first to arrive at school in the morning and the last to leave.”

“Khabele offers an unparalleled combination of an academic and social environment that is full of caring, creative professionals and compassionate, bright and empathetic teenagers.”

“The Khabele School is focused and intentional about instilling every student with a life-long love of learning, and developing not only the mind, but also self-esteem and leadership qualities.”

“The atmosphere the Khabeles have created of openness, love of learning, and trust has inspired our children to work hard, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and value others' differences. There's been a palpable change in the climate of our household since they've been attending Khabele.”

“Students are taught to become responsible, empathetic citizens of the world.”

“It's a supportive, safe, wholesome, progressive, intelligent, loving, innovative, creative, modern, technologically-forward environment.”

“Khabele is a gem that we are lucky to have found in the heart of Austin.”

“We know our children's friends AND their families; we are in close contact with the school's teachers and administrators. The students learn not just their academic material, but also how to lead, how to serve, and how to excel.”

“As far as I can see, everyone likes to be there, because everyone is recognized and appreciated as a complete person, continually encouraged, supported, and celebrated as they develop in mind, body, spirit, and personal integrity. It's school policy. It's real.”

“Students are given an immense amount of freedom and trust, and the school is based on the idea that in order to learn responsibility, you must be given the chance to have responsibility first.”

“Something magical is happening here. From the talented team of Moya and Khotso Khabele through the ranks of the dedicated teachers, this is a place that shows a respect to the students that allows them to blossom.”

“The caring environment and the committed faculty at The Khabele School have helped our daughter find a comfortable place where she can really learn. Her enthusiasm then rubs off on the rest of the family. Her increased interest in learning has made her happier with herself, and with everyone else.”
