Our approach
IMPACT Skills takes a holistic approach to learning with each sprint including seven sessions, delivered through sports and activities either on campus or off campus.
Students can choose either:
- One IMPACT Skill across all seven sessions for deeper mastery
- Two IMPACT Skills, with three sessions in Week 1 and four in Week 2 for variety and exploration
By the end of the sprint, students will have:
- Applied discipline and focus in unfamiliar environments
- Built resilience and confidence
- Enhanced their academic and career portfolios
- Formed meaningful connections through shared experiences
- Had fun and built lasting friendships with students from around the world who share similar interests
- Developed key skills or fostered a passion for something they hadn’t previously explored
