In Adrian’s own words

Learning to manage his time.

As a student-athlete, having the flexibility to balance my academic responsibilities with my training and competitions was incredibly valuable. The online learning environment allowed me to study from anywhere while still receiving a high-quality education. One of the biggest advantages was learning to manage my time and become more independent, skills that have helped me not only academically but also in my athletic development.

Despite being online, I still felt connected to the school community. I would highly recommend it for students looking for an education that can adapt to their individual needs and ambitions.

The story

Training in São Paulo, studying with IWS.

Adrian trained at a football academy in São Paulo, in Brazil, and studied A Level with IWS at the same time. Studying online meant he could keep a full education on track while he trained and competed, wherever the season took him.

He says the flexibility, and the support of approachable teachers, shaped him as much off the pitch as on it.
