Invitation to Grade 11 & 12 and parents / guardians:
Alyson Engelbrecht • May 14, 2020
USA Scholarship opportunities for Grade 11 & 12 students on 21 May 2020 – LIVE Webinar 17:30pm.
A few weeks before SA were forced into lockdown we had the pleasure of being introduced to an international company IAM360. IAM 360 is an International Student Athlete Management Company and they assist students with their search of scholarships to Colleges within the USA based on their academic, sporting and or cultural preferences.
The IAM360 team personally visited our school and we set up an introduction to our learners. Due to current worldwide Covid19 pandemic and our lockdown, we had no choice but to postpone the IAM360 presentation.
With so many uncertainties around lockdown and dates as to when schools will resume back to normal – IAM360 have offered our school an exclusive online webinar about the US College pathway and all the reasons why it could change your life forever. This is essentially the exact same presentation that would have been hosted in person at our school – but from the comfort of your own home. The presentation will be hosted live with one of the IAM360 representatives from across the globe.

• How this pathway will change your life for the better

• How the USA lets you study the degree of your choice, regardless of subject choices.

• What a day in the life of a College student and student athlete is like
We strongly encourage anyone who is interested in sports or overseas study to attend the LIVE webinar as this is an exclusive event and the scholarships will not be provided again this year.
In order to be eligible to scholarships, learners must attend the online sessions with at least one parent or guardian present.

Twenty years of trusted education meets expanded opportunities, greater accessibility and future-ready learning from January 2027.

Current and prospective families stand to benefit from a school that retains everything the community values while opening the door to even greater opportunities.
