About
GLE Academy
An initiative started by a team of people across continents, all passionate about the next generation and their future by empowering them through education and social impact.
The primary focus is on South Asian countries such as Sri-Lanka and India, where English is a second language which has currently seen as a huge barrier to their communication skills.
Lack of communication skills in English language has been a barrier to greater opportunities that could / would have been possible for these children who demonstrate high intellectual and IQ level excelling in their respective areas of academic specialities.
GLE believes that will be empowered to achieve success if supported with language and communication skills in the early years.
Vision & Mission
Opening the horizons to brighter future beyond borders to the less privileged children, by enabling access not only to language Arts ( English as second language) program but also Leadership skills training.
