The Development School (TDS) Africa invests in young people who are passionate about development in Africa and accompanies them on a journey to address the pressing challenges of our time. Founded to harness Africa’s growing youth population as a force for positive change, we provide our students with formal education and practical opportunities to (i) turn their ideas into locally relevant innovations and (ii) build meaningful careers in global development.

We believe that education should take into account everything students experience during each moment of their time at school.
