Teambuilding that
BUILDS
future-ready thinking
Phoenix Academy delivers experiential learning programmes for
schools and colleges — building teamwork, logic, leadership and confidence through hands-on challenge, not screens or lectures.
​​
Designed for schools and institutions that care about more than marks.
We work with Schools like yours!
-
Primary and high schools (Grades 4–12)
-
Guidance counsellors and school leadership teams
-
Colleges and tertiary institutions
-
Parents seeking meaningful enrichment, not entertainment
Our programme support learners aged 10+, adapting challenge depth and facilitation style to suit age, maturity and group dynamics.
Smart learners.
Weak collaboration.
Too much screen time.
Many schools face the same quiet problems:
Learners struggle to communicate under pressure.
Group work becomes one learner carrying the rest.
Critical thinking is talked about — rarely practised.
Technology is everywhere, but logic and teamwork are missing.
​
Phoenix Academy creates structured environments where learners have to;
-
Think together,
-
Solve problems together,
-
and Reflect on how they work as a team.
​FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME —
Our flagship Unplugged Coding Teambuilding introduces learners to the logic behind programming — without computers.
Through physical games, puzzles and group challenges, learners explore:
-
sequencing and algorithms
-
loops and conditional thinking
-
problem-solving under time pressure
-
communication and role clarity
All while working in teams, not behind screens.
This programme also trains teachers, equipping schools to continue coding activities as clubs or enrichment programmes after the session
UNPLUGGED CODING
Learners don’t just learn what coding is — they learn how to think together.
Where many schools get stuck
We see the same patterns across schools:
-
Group work that doesn’t work
-
Strong individuals, weak collaboration
-
Learners who know the theory but struggle to apply it
-
Too much screen time, too little real thinking
These aren’t discipline issues.
They’re skill gaps — and they need practice, not lectures.
​Unplugged Coding: when logic meets teamwork
Schools want learners who can think critically, solve problems and collaborate — but screen-based coding often isolates learners.
Unplugged Coding teaches the thinking behind coding using physical, team-based challenges.
​
Learners practise:
-
sequencing and logic
-
problem-solving
-
communication
-
role clarity
Teachers gain tools to continue coding activities confidently.
We work with minors responsibly and intentionally.
-
Experienced facilitators
-
Clear supervision and safety protocols
-
Inclusive design for different personalities
-
Structured outcomes, not chaos
This is experiential learning — not entertainment outsourcing.

Together, Educators & Parents love it because:
supports learning outcomes

aligns with future-ready skills
This isn’t a “fun day”.
It’s a structured intervention with lasting value.
Phoenix Academy doesn’t replace teachers — it equips them.
Through Unplugged Coding, educators are introduced to practical techniques they can continue using in clubs, enrichment programmes or classrooms. This creates continuity long after the session ends
​
The students learn how to work with others — not just alongside them
​
What changes for learners
-
They practise listening, negotiating and deciding together
-
They experience what teamwork actually feels like under pressure
-
They understand their role in a group, not just their individual task
Why this matters
Most learners struggle with group work because they’ve never been taught how to collaborate.
​
Phoenix Academy gives everyone practice — not lectures.
A future-ready learning platform where Unplugged Coding anchors logic, and experiential challenges build collaboration, leadership and confidence.
The benefits show up back in the classroom — and at home.
