Common Questions

The Club Model captures students where they are – playing video games / Esports.

With a growing, research-backed curriculum and a Club Model for extra curricular activities, we are bridging education gaps, attracting students to STE(A)M and potential workforce sectors.

Within the Club Model, learners get exposed to a variety of roles found within the Esports / video game industry. This early exposure can empower learners to develop new skills and improve current skills to better prepare themselves for the future workforce.

As a player, learners can get an opportunity at a professional career, whether it be at the scholastic, semi-pro, or professional level. In high school alone, learners can develop five years of experience in various roles to help support them – very different to traditional sports like rugby, soccer, or netball
