Virtual Open Day for 2027

Ek wil julle almal weereens hartlik bedank vir wat julle die afgelope jaar vir Jean-Pierre gedoen en beteken het. Ons kan werklik sien dat hy as 'n jong man gegroei en meer versekerd en verantwoordelik geword het.

Hy is nou gefokus op sy studies volgende jaar en is meer selfversekerd en verantwoordelik. Baie dankie vir julle wysheid, geduld, onderrig en vriendskap gedurende die jaar. Ons sal verseker AEL aanbeveel en ons wens julle alle sterkte toe vir die toekoms.

I am delighted that Nicci is at AEL, and that staff and students enjoy that she is part of the group. Nicci is really happy with the AEL experience she has had – she does have her “down” days but overall her feedback to me is very positive. I am so pleased she has had this opportunity. I know she is still a bit uncertain about her future goals and studies, but am sure she will get the support she needs in the coming months to guide her.

If you’re still undecided on the course of study you should take next year, then AEL is the place to go. The campus is right on the Orange River. You will learn how a typical University Institution works, and while studying, still enjoy life’s everyday pleasures like fishing, excursions to SANPARKS, rowing on the Orange River and making lifelong friends.

AEL is an exceptionally well managed educational oasis where you will find caring, compassionate people that work together enthusiastically. Each student is offered the opportunity for personal growth and development, and an awareness of nature and the environment is passionately encouraged.

My granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the year, and we are so proud as grandparents to see the personal growth that she demonstrated during her time at AEL. She has now become a fully independent adult.

I think AEL is the perfect choice for anybody who has not yet made decisions about their future. AEL has definitely prepared me for life at University, and has played a huge role in my choice of career. AEL isn’t just all fun and games though – the material we studied has helped me tremendously in my current studies. All in all it was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend it.

Joel formed lasting friendships, matured under the mentorship and guidance of the leaders, and participated in activities and visited places he perhaps would never have experienced in his lifetime. He completed his year more mature, grounded and certain about his future career path. It was a year that had a big positive impact on his life and will never be forgotten - the best kind of Gap Year we could have wished for.

Jurgens mis die kameraderie van AEL en sê gereeld dat dit die beste ervaring ooit was. Hy/ons sal altyd dankbaar wees vir die fondament wat AEL gelê het, en vir die rol wat AEL en sy personeel in Jurgens se eerste jaar na skool gespeel het.
