“IT’s no longer cutting edge to have an esports team. what is cutting edge is what you do with it.”

James O’Hagan, Founder & CEO

 

Why Esports & Education?

Scholastic Gaming and Esports allow schools to redefine their athletic culture, diversify opportunities for student participation, increase collegiate scholarship pathways, promote good physical and mental health, and play games.
We cannot forget the importance of play!

The mission of The Academy of Esports is to support these ideals.

The vision of The Academy of Esports is for all students to experience the fun and joy of playing competitive video games.

The Five Pillars

For Scholastic Esports & Gaming programs to be successful, we need to think beyond the games. The intrinsic value of video games with children allows for more meaningful learning experiences.

  1. Redefine Athletic Culture

  2. Diversify Opportunities for Student Participation

  3. Promote Good Mental & Physical Health

  4. Increase Career & Collegiate Scholarship Pathways

  5. Honor the Importance of Play
