— Education

Structured, supervised,
measured.

Competitive gaming is already happening in your school. The question is whether it is structured, supervised, and measured — or left to chance. KALM designs the answer.

— School Esports

Three models.
One recommendation.

There is no single way to run esports in a school. The right model depends on student demand, leadership appetite, and resources. Every engagement begins with a discovery call and a short student-interest survey, so the recommendation is grounded in evidence — not assumption.

Model 01

Esports Club.

A lightweight starting point for schools where interest exists but the institution isn't ready for a formal programme. Co-curricular, voluntary sign-up, one to two supervised sessions per week.

  • Best forSmall cohorts of students, or leadership testing demand before committing further
  • StaffingOne existing staff member as club lead, supported by a student captain structure
  • PlatformGlobal Gaming team & roster management, wellness check-ins for participating students
  • ProgressionUpgrades to the Academy model as participation and appetite grow
Model 02

Esports Academy.

A visible, structured programme with scheduled sessions, team selection, training plans, competitive fixtures, and regular reporting to school leadership. The full institutional stack is deployed.

  • Best forMid-sized cohorts, or leadership wanting a visible programme with measurable outcomes
  • StaffingA designated programme lead (PE teacher, Head of Co-curricular, or equivalent), trained by KALM
  • StackGlobal Gaming platform: team & roster management · training plans · VOD review · match data · daily wellness check-ins · dashboards
  • SafeguardingKALM-delivered framework and parent communication structure
Model 03

Qualification Pathway.

A formal qualification programme delivered alongside the competitive and operational structure of the Academy model. Students earn internationally recognised qualifications while participating in structured esports activity.

  • Best forSchools with strong student demand, leadership buy-in, and willingness to allocate curriculum time
  • QualificationsInternationally recognised esports qualifications, including BTEC-equivalent certificates delivered by accredited curriculum partners
  • KALM roleProgramme design · COMPETE integration · safeguarding framework · parent communication · quarterly health checks
  • ProgressionMulti-year programme with annual renewal and optional KALM programme audit

— FAQ

Education at KALM.

How do schools choose between the three models?

Every engagement begins with a discovery call with senior school staff and a short student-interest survey. KALM recommends the model the school can sustain — a club that runs well for three terms is worth more than an academy that doesn't survive one.

Does KALM deliver the curriculum itself?

For Qualification Pathway engagements, curriculum is delivered by accredited curriculum partners. KALM's role is programme design, COMPETE integration, safeguarding, parent communication, and quarterly programme health checks.

How does KALM handle athlete wellbeing?

Every model includes daily wellness check-ins, safeguarding principles aligned to WHO and IOC Medical Commission guidance, parent communication, and escalation pathways. Dr. Melita Moore, who chairs the GEF Health & Wellness Commission, leads KALM's wellbeing governance.

Can executive education be delivered remotely?

Yes. Executive briefings and workshops can be delivered on-site, remotely, or in hybrid formats. Multi-session leadership programmes typically include a mix.

What does an engagement cost?

Engagements are scoped per institution. We quote after the discovery call so the recommendation matches demand, resources, and leadership appetite — not the other way round. Contact us to begin.
