From career mentoring and inspiring workshops to exclusive trips, lectures, and hands-on experiences, our programme is tailored to fuel subject passion and sharpen your child’s critical-thinking skills. Scholars will benefit from partnerships with leading experts, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a particular industry, planting the seed of ambition and creating the best opportunities for our Scholars to excel in their chosen areas.
