GLAD Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on promoting cross-cultural communication among international students. We achieve this by pairing students as peer volunteer educators in weekly online classes to improve language skills, STEM knowledge, and cultural understanding. The academy’s mission aligns with UN goals for health and education, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals through diverse programs like live chats and tailored lessons. Peer education is central to their methodology, fostering mutual respect, communication skills, and a vibrant learning community. GLAD Academy also initiates international charitable projects to address global societal issues.
Mastery of multiple languages opens doors to the global economy, motivating billions worldwide to strive for fluency. Achieving expertise demands continual practice, and GLAD Academy facilitates this journey by providing language learners instant access to native-speaking tutors via video chat, ensuring consistent guidance and support.
Our mission extends beyond language proficiency. We passionately advocate for the exploration of STEM and health-related subjects. Aligned with Goal 3 and Goal 4 of the United Nations Sustainable Development agenda—centered on promoting good health and ensuring access to quality education—our holistic education allows our members to emerge as well-rounded, successful individuals who are well-equipped to take on the world.
Peer education serves as our cornerstone for teaching and learning, epitomizing our philosophy of learning and growing together.
Within our programs lie a diverse array of offerings—from language learning and live chats to tailored lessons, health insights, and cultural exchange events.
