Member Story:
St. Alban's Vision to Prepare Men for Life
St. Alban's College (South Africa) senior boy Lewis Seymour filmed this video about life at the school and how it prepares young men for life. The 50-year-old all-boys school in Pretoria, South Africa, educates 560 young men. Watch the video to glimpse this extraordinary "home away from home" that unleashes creativity and builds collaboration and leadership. Students enter as boys and leave as men.
