    Overview

    Global Scholars Program offers 10 or 18-day summer camps for students ages 13-19. Participants come to African Leadership Academy's campus in South Africa, learning leadership and problem solving skills from a unique curriculum while exploring the country's rich culture and history with peers from around the world.

    Global Scholars Program (GSP) connects future leaders to Africa as they discover, learn, and lead throughout a transformative camp experience. Our students gain tangible skills working with South African entrepreneurs, building leadership skills with peers from around the globe, and exploring the best of what Johannesburg has to offer. They will return home as catalysts of  change, with experience as social entrepreneurs and a diverse set of lifelong friends. 

    From June - August, we offer one or more sessions of each of the following programs:
