Is African Leadership Academy simply another opportunity for Africa’s elite?
No. African Leadership Academy aspires to educate talented students from all walks of life. A diverse student body will be admitted to the Academy without regard to the students’ race, gender, citizenship, religious affiliation, or family wealth. The Academy seeks in particular those talented students who might not otherwise have access to an outstanding education, and we anticipate that at least 50% of our students will require financial assistance. With all students, we seek to reinforce the notion that they have been endowed with skills, networks, and talents not just for themselves but for the benefit of society as a whole. And African Leadership Academy’s outreach efforts, including teacher training and the sharing of our curriculum across the continent, will enable ALA to impact thousands of students beyond our campus.
