My Project

Our esports program isn't your average after-school activity – it's a leadership incubator fueled by the games you love. Led by passionate students with our guidance, they level up their skills way beyond the controller.

Many students who might not be traditionally engaged in school activities find esports to be a motivating force.

It taps into their existing passion for gaming and creates a fun, competitive environment for learning. Investing in the future of esports will assure a pool of independent thinkers who will, eventually, help to shape the world.
