My fellow classmates were all bright, curious, and really bonded well together. It was a joy to have a group of such cool people working on this project of self improvement in a time when people are increasingly isolated and detached (as the corona virus continues to ravage the country).

I chose this program because I know a few people who went through the program in the past several years and they spoke highly of the curriculum and the teachers. I would say it did not disappoint. The instructor... Read More presented the lessons in a well though out, and concise manner.
