Frequently Asked Questions

Akademia is an innovative four-year curriculum built around a simple idea most education leaves out - that the Physical, Intellectual and Creative disciplines were never meant to be taught separately. Where a typical course teaches you a specific knowledge or skill, Akademia is structured to develop the whole person behind it - a disciplined body, sharp mind, and creative capacity to give life to your unique personal vision.

You can begin immediately. There are no prerequisite exams, lengthy forms or high tuition. Akademia membership is only $10 USD per month for its four-year program, and a 50% discount is applied to each additional family member.

Akademia is for those who recognize that the knowledge and skills that will matter most in the years ahead simply are not or were not a part of their formal education. Akademia was built for gifted, creative people who are capable of becoming the kind of thinkers and leaders the new era will need most.

Every module is integrated with Quantum Mind Dynamics, the framework at the core of the curriculum, so the physical training you are accomplishing, the knowledge you are gaining, and the imaginative works you are creating are never disconnected from each other. They are guided by your unique personal vision and further empowered by insight provided through Akademia.

In short, Akademia is for everyone.

In forty-five states, including California, Akademia is a complete replacement for formal schooling. Click here to view Akademia's homeschooling status by state. The four-year program is designed to replace primary, secondary and post-secondary education with a more effective and powerful learning system that requires a fraction of the time and cost. For other states or countries, Akademia functions in parallel. A student stays enrolled in their existing school and layers our Physical, Intellectual, and Creative curriculum on top, using it to develop the skills, mindset and vision the traditional system does not nurture.

The Akademia degree requires four years to complete and signifies a formidable thinker with a system's view, a well-rounded knowledge and skillset, and the leadership qualities necessary for success in the new era. Upon graduation, students transition into the Post-Graduate Network, a program for bringing their unique personal vision to the world through a connected community of experts, media visibility, and awards & grants. Learning is a lifelong process at Akademia, but the four-year degree is the essential starting point and launchpad for your vision.

Quantum Mind Dynamics (QMD for short) is the theoretical framework that unifies everything taught at Akademia - a framework that explains how consciousness, perception, and the structure of reality relate to one another, drawing upon principles from physics, biology and informatics. Instead of treating QMD as a standalone subject, it is woven throughout the disciplines, so that the Physical, Intellectual and Creative studies are all, in different ways, connected through the same underlying model.

You will not find this framework taught quite this way anywhere else - it is original to Akademia and it is the foundation that makes the curriculum feel like one coherent path. Akademia is the only curriculum capable of unleashing the associative neural network of the mind, accelerating learning in a radial fashion and producing graduates of outstanding caliber and capability.

Most platforms pick one lane - fitness, or academics, or creativity - and stay in it. Akademia was designed around the opposite proposition - that real growth happens at the intersection of all three. The curriculum sequence is deliberately built so your physical training informs your intellectual study, and both power your creativity, culminating in a personal vision and degree unique to you rather than a generic completion certificate.

No - the curriculum sequence is built to meet you where you are and progress from there - whether you are brand new to martial arts and yoga or already have a physical practice, and whether you have never engaged with a framework like Quantum Mind Dynamics or have studied adjacent ideas for years.

A New Degree for a New Era

The Onyx Degree from Akademia bespeaks graduates who possess depth and breadth of knowledge, a system's perspective and the leadership skills required for success in the new era. Their rigorous physical discipline, sharp mind and powerful imagination are their defining hallmarks. These Akademians are the harbingers of an exciting new paradigm of global cooperation and prosperity.

Yes - Akademia is a fully self-paced, digital curriculum. Every course reading or module, including the physical training components (fitness, martial arts and yoga instruction), is delivered online for you to access whenever and wherever suits you. There is no facility to visit and no fixed class schedule to work around.

It means the curriculum sequence is yours to move through on your own timeline. Course reading or modules unlock in a deliberate order - Physical, Intellectual and Creative disciplines building on each other - but nothing is scheduled or synchronous. Go through any one of the fifteen modules in a day or take the full month; the structure holds either way.

Minimal by design. Most martial arts and yoga modules are built to work in ordinary home space with little to no equipment, so the barrier to starting is as low as possible. Any module that benefits from optional equipment will be noted clearly before you begin. For the fitness training classes, you will need a couple sets of dumbbells relative to your strength level and one adjustable workout bench. All equipment should be purchased used, which is better for the environment and cheaper, especially considering the amount in healthcare costs and gym fees you will save. Here are the recommended weights by gender and age. You should be able to perform ten repetitions with some effort, while maintaining proper form and good breathing:

Men: 10 lb., 15 lbs., 25 lbs. & 40 lbs.

Women: 5 lbs. & 10 lbs.

Children: 2 lbs. & 5 lbs.

You will receive your own sign-in credentials by email right after enrolling, and again on your confirmation page. From there, everything - Physical, Intellectual and Creative modules alike - is accessible from your account.

Membership is $10/month for the primary account, plus $5/month for each additional family member you add - each with their own individual sign-in and full access to the curriculum. There is no separate enrollment fee and no long-term contract; it is a straightforward monthly membership.

Yes - you can cancel your membership, or any individual family member's account, at any time from your account settings. You will keep access of your account through the end of your current billing cycle, with no further charges afterward. Full details are in our Terms of Membership.

Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal are all supported at checkout.

No - your rate is protected by our billing terms, which require at least 30 days' notice by email before any pricing change takes effect - full details is available in the Recurring Billing Policy.

Yes - this is one of the things members appreciate most. Every family member gets their own individual account and their own sign-in credentials, so each person progresses through the curriculum at their own pace rather than sharing a single login.

Yes - as the primary account holder, you can add family members at a 50% discount, including minors ages 8 -17 who are under your legal guardianship, during enrollment. You will confirm your guardianship for each minor with a short checkbox at signup.

No - everything is billed together to the primary account holder: $10/month for you, plus $5/month for each family member, in one consolidated monthly charge.

Yes - you can make changes at any time from your account settings. Adding a family member grants them immediate access; removing one takes effect at the end of the current cycle.

The martial arts, yoga and fitness courses are sequenced to build gradually, with technique and pacing suited to first-time participants. That said, any physical activity carries some inherent risk of injury. We recommend checking with a physician before beginning, especially if you have a pre-existing condition. Full detail is in our Terms of Membership.

Curriculum content is educational, not medical advice. If you have a pre-existing condition, are pregnant, or have not recently been physically active, we recommend getting clearance from a physician before starting the physical studies.
