Global Achievers Academy

With a focus on helping to nurture the future leaders of the world, the Global Achievers Academy takes place over 4 summers in 4 unique destinations. Students will travel as a cohort, meeting each other at the age of 13 at our academy in Boston. They will then move through our academies in London, Singapore and Cape Town, before graduating from the academy at the age of 17.

The Global Achievers Academy equips our students with a mixture of classroom learning as well as the opportunity to volunteer in local communities, building a strong foundation in the fields of finance and economics, leadership & global politics, the environment & sustainability, and technology & the future - all the while nurturing critical lifeskills and building a network which will serve them throughout their professional lives.
