In

At iALA we use the medium of adventure to teach students how to learn and develop through their experiences, and thus equip them to start a continuous improvement journey as they encounter different experiences in life. We embrace the fun, challenges and risks associated with adventure to help students acquire valuable life principles and skills.

Life Changing Gap Year

An Experience Of A Lifetime

“Back to the Future”. This oxymoron emphasizes the importance of looking at our experiences to find vision and a value-based code of conduct. This shows us how the medium of ADVENTURE can enhance personal development. Jan Heenop is in this industry since he was 17. Over a period of more than 40 years he has discovered that adventure-based learning is all about discovering potential within the bigger context of a Creator that offer a habitat for self-discovery. For this to happen identity and accountability needs to align.
