Review

Tell us your
opinion about us

This class got my 14-year-old daughter prepared for what it takes to be an engineer in the current day and in the future. Her teacher presented the information in a way that was easy for her to understand, and trust me, they weren't grappling easy concepts. I highly recommend for any parents who want to raise a future engineer!

Profile picture

World Scholars Academy's beginners class taught me about key engineering concepts and how the engineering world works and will work. The lessons were engaging and introduced complex ideas in an easily digestible format. I left the two weeks with a stronger interest in engineering and a better idea of what path I'm going to go down once college rolls around.

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).
