African Leadership Academy Class of 2026

Position description

We seek to identify the young leaders most likely to change the world.

We are on a mission to find brilliant young people. Our goal is to discover the brightest minds that possess the potential to transform the future of our continent.

We are not solely interested in students who excel academically; rather, we seek young individuals who possess the courage, initiative, and drive to make a positive impact on the world around them through their innovative ideas and forward-thinking initiatives.

The ALA admissions process is designed to assess each candidate’s leadership potential and compatibility with our unique diploma program. Our approach is holistic, taking into account various factors such as intellectual readiness, courage, perseverance, ownership, and interdependence. We understand that diversity is a vital component of community strength, so we seek to build a class with students from various backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. 

At ALA, we do not expect uniformity; instead, we celebrate our differences and encourage our students to learn from one another. We assess each applicant individually, and no single factor, except age, will be used to exclude any candidate. For admission in 2026, applicants must have been born on or after September 1, 2006.
