ESCA partners with leading sports professionals and coaches to provide an offering to our student-athletes that is unmatched. We have 5 elite academies on offer, Basketball, Tennis, Golf, Soccer and Gymnastics. Our academies aim to help our student-athletes to develop the skills and abilities that will allow them the best opportunity to become an athlete ready for the next level.

ESCA also accommodates those students who are looking for a flexible, individualised academic timetable which accommodates their training and touring demands in their chosen sport. Flexible and expert coordination form the basis for providing each learner with the ability to achieve their personal best.

Students also have access to a range of clubs at an additional cost.

In our Primary School (Grades 4 to 6), we believe that an active start to life promotes and enhances fundamental skills such as the development of coordination, imagination, brain function, gross motor skills, building stronger bones and muscles, and a reduction in stress. Our Primary School students are exposed to one sport and cultural activity for a period of five weeks, after which a new rotation starts with exposure to a new sport and cultural activity. All activities are delivered by leading professionals in their respective fields.
