"A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit" - Francois Rabelais
Why choose Equal Zeal®?
The Equal Zeal® System was conceptualised to provide valuable life tools for a generation of children growing up in an age of advancements like no other. Today’s kids are dealing with a range of issues that kids of the past didn’t have to face until adulthood.
Add to that the normal hurdles and pressures that children throughout the ages need to confront as part of the growing up process and you can start to see why it’s challenging to be young these days. Try to imagine the destructive world through the eyes of a child and it’s clear that trying to make sense of it all can be entirely overwhelming. While we acknowledge that technological advancements have provided us with so much in a modern world, yet we have to ask "at what cost to our children?", faced with the toxic influences that are causing them to grow up faster than ever?
The Equal Zeal® System is a cutting edge programme, designed to give kids and their families the tools to cope with whatever life throws their way. We’re passionate about what we do and we consider our work to be important in creating a future generation of well-balanced, caring and successful adults ready to change the world!

THE SCREENING PROCESS
Our FREE Zeal for Life® Assessment is a useful tool that gives you feedback on how much energy and enthusiasm your child has for life at this specific moment in time! Upon completion of the online assessment you’ll get:
- An easy-to-read graph, clearly highlights any areas lacking in balance in your child’s life.
- Valuable feedback that provides ways to assist.
- Be aware that this tool is an overview and is not meant to be a conclusive indicator of any problematic areas.
Before committing to join any specific programme on offer, all children and their parents are required to undertake this SCREENING PROCESS and evaluation by a trained Equal Zeal® consultant.
This helps us to determine if your child and family are ideal candidates for any of our programmes and if so which route will be the best one to suit your needs.
The evaluation is done in 3 stages...
STEP 1-PRE-EVALUATION
Do it in your own time! This first stage is a pre-evaluation assessment - completed and graded online. The questionnaire is statistically graded and graphed in order to visually determine problematic areas.
Should the graph indicate no severely problematic areas needing the attention of a professional, follow Step 2.
STEP 2-PROVISION OF PROGRAMME OPTIONS
Complete and forward your evaluation to an Equal Zeal® consultant in your area, who’ll be there guide & assist you through the enrolment procedure and recommend suitable tailor-made programmes.
STEP 3-POST-EVALUATION
Once your child has participated in an extended programme with Equal Zeal® we encourage parents to complete the assessment once again in order to see areas of improvement
