Beta Version

Peterson Academy is currently in our public beta version.

This means that with the support of our students we have scaled up development and are able to develop our educational and social media feed features quicker than originally anticipated. We have our mobile app and features like DMs, messenger, study groups, upgrades to quizzes, note-taking, and essays planned and in development for release in the not too distant future (as well as a number of other plans to become the best education platform in the world). With your support, we can achieve this rapidly.

We're bringing the best lecturers in the world to everyone, everywhere. Our professors teach what is most important and what they love best to those who most want to learn and develop.

A world class education therefore no longer has to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can learn what the elite have always taught their children at much higher quality, and a fraction of the cost.

Peterson Academy offers you the opportunity to develop the sophistication necessary to make you disciplined, educated, innovative, critically-minded, socially attractive and economically viable — and to do so without taking on a crippling burden of debt.

There is no longer any reason, in consequence, to subject yourself to an onslaught of idiot ideological propaganda, in the guise of intellectual advancement, to obtain an increasingly worthless degree.

There is no reason, likewise, to take third-rate courses from uninterested teachers only because they are required by the very institution that is leading you into long-term financial servitude.

You could instead learn from those who are thrilled to teach — and learn what will make you far more effective in your thought, communication and action.

You could as well build a social network among your fellow students — those who share the values of responsibility, curiosity, diligence and upward aim — and with whom you can share the adventure of intellectual inquiry, discourse and free exchange.

Equal opportunity for anyone, anywhere in the world, regardless of their circumstances.

Learn from the best, with the best.
