• Holistically-Designed

Our curriculum is holistically designed to empower students to think differently and creatively. But more importantly, our curriculum helps them reflect on their life aspirations so they can reach their full potential. Our courses prepare students for lifelong learning, teach them marketable skills, inspire a positive mindset, and foster self-awareness so they can succeed in the world.

Our online courses encompass, hands-on applications, personality assessments, real-world connections, fine arts, visual arts, creative writing, music composing, self-paced lessons, and social and emotional activities that build self-esteem and self-value. Our lessons captivate the students’ interest and engagement, which ultimately separates our curriculum from the competition. Our curriculum speaks directly to their hearts and minds, empowering them to do the impossible. 

• Execution-Style Applications

Our lessons are execution-style, meaning students learn by good ol’ fashioned trial and error. This style of learning promotes ingenuity, innovation, strategic thinking, and problem-solving and sparks creativity.  Students learn how to build a team to accomplish the task and embrace one another’s strengths throughout the process.

Our lessons bring out every student’s gifts and skills. As a result, they discover their value for themselves and the world. After completing our courses, students are prepared to tackle life’s obstacles and become leaders in their community and beyond. We bring value-added programs to your school that improve student retention.

30 Years of Expertise!

Our courses were designed by certified teachers in language arts, mathematics, general education, and special education grades K-12. Our certified teachers developed a curriculum utilizing national learning standards to ensure goals and objections were being met in each course. In order to create a Rigor/Relevance Framework, we brought in business professionals who co-created the curriculum with the teachers.

The courses went through beta-testing with students who played an instrumental role in providing feedback to improve the courses. Our teachers and business professionals have over 30 years of combined experience in their field.

Do It Big Academy taught me the importance of good credit, how to budget, and manage my money. It taught me how to plan for my future and acheive my goals. It also taught me how to visualize and suceed. This program taught me that there is nothing I can’t accomplish if I set my mind right and Dream Big.

What I learned is that I realized that there is so much more than picking a career and working for the rest of my life, I have an actual purpose in my life.

This platform Do It Big has taught me so much about how to start a career with the right mindset from budgeting to credit scores. This is a great platform to teach younger kids how to manage their money the right way and starting a business in the future.

Why I Love Do It Big Academy! Do It Big Academy has found a way to make it interesting and has found a way to help me retain the information I learned. So far I have completed my budgeting and interest rate modules and let me say that I have learned so much. I have never really found finance interesting. There are so many people who don't learn about how to budget or how to calculate your car or mortgage payments until their 20s but we get to learn these life skills in advance. Now I won't have to depend on anyone to do these calculations for me. Do It Big Academy is helping me prepare for the real world and I cannot wait for what they have next.
