Where Learning Meets Friendship

At EAGLE, studying together is only part of the story. Our students are more than classmates — they’re hiking buddies, party companions, and the kind of people who show up to lectures with birthday cakes 🎂.

Today was a perfect example. Our EAGLE student Esperance from Kinshasa celebrated her birthday, and her fellow students surprised her with a delicious cake right in the lecture. What followed? Chanting “happy birthday”, and a room full of smiles as everyone joined in to celebrate together.

These small moments — shared hikes, spontaneous celebrations, and genuine friendships — are what make the EAGLE community special. Learning is better when it’s shared, and celebrations are sweeter when everyone gets a slice.
