How do we help young people grow into confident, grounded adults in a world that is changing before our eyes? It all starts with their courage to step outside their comfort zone and the way they learn to navigate the unknown.
Heritage International School is taking a decisive step in this direction, becoming the first and only International Award Centre delivering the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award in Moldova. The programme challenges young people aged 14-24 to undertake voluntary service, develop physical fitness, gain practical skills, and complete an adventurous journey. Active in over 120 countries, the programme builds the fundamental life skills that help students grow and thrive.
For students, this journey is an investment in their own personality. The certification earned at the end of the programme is internationally recognized and provides graduates with a competitive edge in the university admission process, while also serving as an inner compass that will guide them with confidence throughout their adult lives.
At Heritage, students are guided every step of the way by trained and dedicated educators.
Founded in 1956 by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, it is today one of the most recognised personal development programmes for young people in the world, active in over 120 countries. Over nearly 70 years, more than 9 million young people worldwide have completed it – making it one of the most enduring and respected youth initiatives in history.
We invite you to explore the certification levels, how the programme works, who can participate and the participation criteria on the The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award page.
