Stellenbosch University, South Africa
Since 2015 The Academy has collaborated with Stellenbosch University in South Africa to offer Academy students the opportunity to attend a 2-week study program to learn about life in post-Apartheid South Africa and experience the rich and diverse culture of the Western Cape.

The charming university town of Stellenbosch is situated 50km east of Cape Town in the heart of the Cape Winelands, surrounded by magnificent mountains. Excursions included Robben Island, Table Mountain, Cape Point, a West Coast weekend away as well as a wildlife safari.
