Bridging the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge, the 5th Degree Academy, helmed by serial entrepreneur David Williams and renowned thought leader Tim Storey, is revolutionizing the educational landscape. The Academy offers a platform to gain access to live training and video curriculum from real-world entrepreneurs, investors, speakers, authors, and celebrities. This unique approach provides first-hand insights and advice to aspiring individuals.
Beyond traditional classroom teaching, education at the 5th Degree Academy revolves around entrepreneurial skills, finance and investment, marketing and sales, faith and family, health and wellness, and personal freedom. It’s a mission inspired by the belief that today’s education system fails to prepare students adequately for real-world scenarios. With staggering statistics: 70% of parents feel the current education system falls short in prepping children for tangible challenges, and nearly 60% of graduates feel their degree did not equip them with the necessary skills for their selected career path.
Addressing these concerns, 5th Degree Academy provides practical education, catering to individual needs and supporting the exploration of specific topics of interest. This curated engagement extends beyond generic classroom learning, creating an interactive experience that fosters a community of accountable and success-oriented participants.
The Academy’s innovative contributions have not only resonated with students, parents, and educators, they’ve also drawn worldwide attention. A testament to their impactful work is seen with their recently bagged Guinness World Record for the “Elevate Experience” – a 2-day financial literacy event. The event drew more than 150,000 live online viewers, with over 3000 kids and parents engaged in a 6-hour interactive financial freedom discourse.
This groundbreaking event was graced by a host of celebrities, influencers, thought leaders, and financial experts such as motivational speaker Eric Thomas, rapper Xzibit, social media influencer Jimmy Darts, and Brain Coach Jim Kwik. These experts shared their secrets to success and financial growth, demystifying financial freedom, and empowering participants with clarity towards their financial future.
5th Degree Academy is committed to harnessing the power of influential figures to teach and guide the next generation. The institution provides open access to select event footages online and encourages parents, students, and anyone eager to help the youth to participate in their mission.
The academy currently offers a 7-day free trial of its comprehensive curriculum. To widen its reach during the holiday season, the academy has extended this offer to a full 30-day access to its online platform, allowing individuals to experience the power of real-world education firsthand.
Curriculum at 5th Degree Academy includes Entrepreneurial Skills, Confidence & Mindset, Finance & Investing, Faith & Family First Living, Marketing & Sales, Preserving our Freedom, Health & Wellness, and Monetization & Strategy. Each subject aims to equip individuals with practical knowledge that encourages them to thrive, not just survive.
The academy stands by a ‘no kid left behind’ mantra with a ‘buy one, bless one’ component, offering assistance for its programs. A grant option is also available for kids from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, can have access to life-enhancing education.
The work of the 5th Degree Academy with David Williams at the helm is proof of the transformative power of combining theory and practical knowledge to reshape traditional education. The drive to fill the gaps left by the current education system is at the forefront of their mission, ensuring that the younger generation is armed with the skills to excel in life and their chosen careers.
