Definitely gratifying - that’s how I would describe my experience with the class and instructors. As a student who had many opportunities, none left an impression this indelible. They were adequately engaging, organized and well explained, enriching my knowledge to a great degree. As a buyer, I recommend these courses to people who desire to learn and have fun.

Profile picture

I took the discover business academy and the world business academy with Dr. Gerard Dericks, and I must say I loved them! I learned much about investing, stocks, prices, macro and microeconomics, and more. They were engaging, fun courses well-organized, and adequately explained by a phenomenal professor. I recommend this course to anyone with a small amount of mathematical knowledge and a large amount of passion. It is excellent for anyone interested in learning about anything and everything, from market equilibrium to deep learning.

Thank you!

Who Should Apply:
World Scholars Academy programs target ambitious students from around the world who are eager to excel in their academic pursuits and learn in a personalized setting from the world’s most accomplished educators.


When to Apply:
It is recommended to enroll for your desired program session as soon as possible. However, we are able to accept a student onto our programs up until the day they start, provided that the session has not yet filled. For summer courses it is also better to apply earlier so we can schedule your first one-on-one tutorial with your instructor prior to your first class, and so you have a chance to consult your instructor's recommended preparatory materials before your classes begin (though this is optional).
