High-achieving students don't have the support from traditional education to achieve their goals.

Rigid Schedule

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Flexible Learning

The ICL Foundation supports accredited pilot school ICL Academy to inspire, educate, and support high achieving students.

PROBLEM

Factory Education Model

Lack of student engagement in traditional "one size fits all" schooling.

SOLUTION

Innovation & Interactivity

ICL's Impact Learning Model blends world-class academics, tailored to student passion, powered by cutting edge technology.

ICL's award-winning character and leadership program, co-created by renowned sports psychiatrist Dr. Jim Loehr.

SOLUTION

Train the Whole Person

Traditional schools teach the basics, but don't support character growth, personal development, or community involvement.

Mental Health Crisis

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

World Class Mentorship

ICL provides direct mentorship from global icons and world champions across a wide spectrum of backgrounds and industries.

Current education models lack inspiration and connection to key mentors and role models - who also don't have a platform to directly educate youth.

Disconnection,
Indifference

PROBLEM
