WHAT iALA SPECIALISES 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. The term we used is: “Adventure Based Learning” (ABL) and our aim is to unlock potential.

Our Offerings

We expose students to situations where they can develop the following skills: complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordinating with others, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making, service orientation, negotiation, cognitive flexibility. In a complex world these skills will give clarity of purpose – the True North of Life.

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.
