This is the best online course I've ever taken. The teacher is very patient with us, and we can feel free to ask any questions. My instructor wanted us not only to learn what he taught, but to learn how to learn and love learning. I learned a lot in just one week and will definitely come back next time.

My experience on the World Business Academy was amazing. My instructor was able to break down difficult concepts into easy and understandable lessons that allowed me to learn more than I ever thought I could. Overall a great academy and I met people that I am still friends with to this day. I highly recommend it!

I participated in the World Engineers Academy as a rising junior. I can say without a doubt that I loved the experience. My goals were to both enrich my engineering knowledge and learn about the engineering career specialties. I accomplished those goals but was surprised at how much fun I had.

I had the opportunity to participate in the World Coders Academy this summer and it was a great experience for me. The lessons are very interactive which keeps you engaged with the course. The instructors are great at what they do and they guide you throughout the whole course. I was having so much fun that I didn't want the program to end.

I joined the World Lawyers Academy and I have nothing but good words to say about this experience. Each and every one of the classes was filled with meaningful discussions, giving me a much better understanding of different specializations of the law and its intersection with politics, economics and philosophy. As a whole, I would describe my experience at the academy as unforgettable, engaging and educational.

I took the World Scholars Academy Medical program because I had no idea what speciality I wanted to focus in. It was honestly an amazing experience. My mentor was spectacular! She was patient and helped make class a fun experience. I recommend taking this class to not only learn about taking medicine in the future but to become excited for medicine.
