The Global Academy
The Global Academy for
International Athletics, the owner of ULTRA, was conceived
at Harvard under under the stimulation of Professor Anne Roe who challenged the
entering doctoral students to create a new educational system that would
replace what she perceived as an out-dated system that educated well only a
tiny minority of privileged students.
The
Academy evolved over the years and was invited in 2009 by the National Olympic
Committee of Albania to establish its headquarters in Albania.
Originally designed on Plato’s model, the Academy is still evolving and will typically begin with day schools for children ages 3 ½ and up. The residential academy will initiate students into the Academy on their 12th birthday.

The Academy hopes to establish at least one
center in 2012, at least two in 2013, and multiply to the point that every
continent is served by at least four residential facilities. More details are available at www.gaiaschool.info.
