Outreach

The Academy will leverage its resources to create positive change beyond the boundaries of its South African campus. Our outreach activities include:

• Lectures open to the public:
  An evening speaker series will be free and open to the public. These events will be broadcasted and archived on the Academy’s website, making them available to people across Africa.
• Free teacher training:
  Academy faculty will travel to locations throughout Africa to host free teacher seminars. These seminars will help teachers across the continent adopt some of our best teaching methods and classroom technologies and strategies.
• “Junior Academy” camps:
  During holiday periods, 14-16 year old students from across the continent will be invited to spend time at the Academy in camps that develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills. This will expand our reach to a broader group of students.
• Student community projects:
  Each Academy student must complete a meaningful public service project prior to graduating. Students will craft and implement a project that improves upon an existing program or creates a new program to fill a community need.
• Sharing our unique curriculum:
  The Academy will share its unique African studies, entrepreneurship, and leadership curricula with other schools from across the continent, and Academy faculty will assist in its implementation via teacher exchanges and other programs.
