Why does African Leadership Academy seek students from outside of Africa?
African Leadership Academy is a global institution with an African focus. On our campus, future leaders from across Africa and around the world will interact. Young African leaders will recognize that Africa cannot develop in a vacuum but is instead part of an increasingly interconnected world. They will benefit from deep linkages and friendships with full-time and exchange students from other regions. We dream of a future in which a Senator from the United States who has been educated at ALA is sponsoring a trade bill that affects Africa, or an investment banker in London will rely on information and networks built at ALA to evaluate a significant investment in the continent.
