Do You Want To Study with AVBS?
Here at AVBS we make education accessible for students from all over the world. Our doors are open to the students of all ages and any levels of experience. Our mission is to develop individuals, inspire creative passion, and increase students' self-confidence.
AFRICAN VIRTUAL BRIDGING SCHOOL
Our aim is to ensure sustainable education for disadvantaged children, youths and young women from all African countries, while focusing on professions and study fields which support the 17 sustainable development Goals of the United Nations. At the AVBS we focus on each person’s innate competences and abilities, through Exprobico’s competence checks. Regardless of your educational path, each person acquires skills and talents along the way and you will be made aware of your potential and what will need to be supported, with the right education or professions and vocational training, to ensure successful transitions. Our areas of focus are to expose students to mainstream areas of knowledge transfer BUT also to areas which will differ from classic institutions, like mining and agricultural sustainability. To highlight the cultural and professional requirements of each African country and their respective needs. To motivate young girls and women to enter STEAM and ICT professions or fields of study and to provide self-awareness and upskilling for women in leadership positions. We also focus on leadership development aimed at promoting more women in decision making roles & developing future women leaders as well as poverty eradication through sustainable education and development for disadvantaged youth and women.
