TOC LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

Learn from Leaders

Hi - Agnes and Yvonne here, and we are so excited to offer three unique leadership programs here at The Open Classroom. Because leadership has become an indispensable part of our professional and educational lives, we felt it was necessary to share our insights with younger people who want to learn how to lead and communicate effectively.

Each of the three programs is personally designed by us to ensure that our students get the most out of their experience. On top of that, we recruit our program facilitators from Ivy League universities to guarantee that the students are guided by high-quality campus leaders. In other words, these three programs are truly crafted and led by leaders themselves. We invite you to further explore our exceptional programs and we look forward to working with you.

Leadership in Action

Grades 5-8

For middle school students, the Leadership in Action program focuses on developing the three pillars of character development. We implement a series of interactive workshops and problem-solving activities to engage and grow our students. With the guidance of our Ivy League facilitators, students apply their learning in a final presentation before a social enterprise leader.

Young Leaders of Tomorrow

Our longest running program, the Young Leaders of Tomorrow (YLOT) program guides high school students through higher-level leadership challenges in context of the college application. We use a combination of workshops, simulations, and NGO partnerships to build our students into strong and self-aware leaders. Our YLOT alumni have attended top schools in the US and UK.
