Global education partnerships

Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.

We have partners who support our mission by: 

• Enabling Learning Opportunities: Forward-thinking companies and organisations partner with us to create valuable learning experiences for our students, bridging the gap between education and the real world.
• Driving Program Development: We collaborate with experts in curriculum development who help shape and refine our programs, ensuring they remain innovative and effective.
• Promoting Accessibility: Philanthropic partners provide scholarships and sponsorships, making our transformative programs accessible to a diverse range of students, regardless of their background or financial circumstances.
• Sharing Real-World Experiences: Many of our partners join us as speakers and storytellers in our programs. They bring real-world experiences to the classroom, giving students the opportunity to learn from their journeys and gain valuable insights
