International. Flexible. Family-friendly.

Our caring, challenging, whole-person learning approach creates bold thinkers, authentic leaders and remarkable African entrepreneurs who take others with them as they rise.

We believe that the student and their continued development is central to what we do, that character and integrity are as important as capability, that wealth creation is important for society as a whole, not just for individuals, that building management and leadership capability builds both wealth and the welfare of society.

#CorporateActivism

At Henley Africa we are passionate that business leaders have a role to play in helping to keep society as a whole, on the straight and narrow. We believe that corporate and organisational leaders can be activists to stand against the influences of state capture and corruption to ensure that South Africa grows in such a way as to lift our people out of poverty and give all real opportunities. Our student are encouraged to balance the short- and long-term interests of their shareholders against the moral imperative.
