About Young Sparks Academy


Young Sparks academy gives all children the opportunity to deep dive into more intensive course-based programs while still having all the fun of our regular Young Sparks activities. These scholarship based short-courses extend beyond the normal school curriculum covering topics including; business, entrepeneurship, finance, science, nutrition, advanced chess skills and more. Our courses are designed and run by the internal Young Sparks professional team, often in partnership with other educational organisations. As always, our team of young team members are at the forefront of our course planning, making sure that each course is interactive, engaging and of course packed full of fun!

Here at Young Sparks, our core mission is to help all children to grow to their full potential. We believe in giving children and families equal opportunities, regardless of their financial or social position and there is no exception when it comes to delivering our more intensive Young Sparks Academy courses. We do this by opening our scholarship applications up to every child and offering all courses at a fully subsidised cost, meaning they are 100% funded by Max Biocare and 100% free.


Scholarship Information – All programs within our Academy are scholarship based, so spots are limited for each course.


Why have them scholarship based in the first place?

Simple – we want to make sure that your child has the best experience possible.

By having an application process, we ensure that your child is well suited to the course curriculum based on their interests. By having smaller group numbers, we ensure that every child is given prime opportunity to participate, contribute and receive individual feedback and assessment from our course teachers and facilitators.
