Level UP

The “Level Up” project at A’ksent Cambridge School was created for high-level competitive athletes who aspire to excel both in their sport and in their academic pursuits. Our mission is to guide students through the Cambridge curriculum, ensuring they are well-prepared to attend the university of their choice thanks to their exceptional preparation.

We are a Cambridge school specifically designed for high-level competitive athletes, offering both in-person and online education. With campuses in Italy and Switzerland, we have established partnerships with teams and karting tracks to provide a blended learning approach, where we bring education directly to the athletes.

Each student benefits from a personalized tutor, ensuring individualized attention and support. We are also an Apple-certified school, and through unique codes, our teachers and tutors can monitor and support athletes during their lessons by accessing their iPads, ensuring they are actively engaged.

Our purpose is to guide athletes step by step so they can achieve excellence in both their sport and academics. With the right knowledge and preparation, our students can reach the highest levels in the Cambridge curriculum and beyond.
