A one of its kind program, Phoenix brings glory to the noblest profession of all

Unacademy was founded with a vision, the one to democratize knowledge and help learners across the world crack their life goals. Our journey bears testimony to this vision, and everything we do is a step towards realising it. When democratising knowledge is at the very DNA of Unacademy, we realise the responsibility we have towards shaping the future of education. Providing learners with the best possible pedagogy is not just an imperative, but a promise that we understand and undertake. With online education evolving and with Unacademy playing a crucial role in it taking shape, we realised that at the heart of this revolution lies the brilliance of our Educators. So, as the leading online learning platform of this country, it became clear that we had to identify the next generation of Educators who are passionate about their creed and train them to be the best , not only in the online sector, but as overall Educators and leaders.

The Program

Thus, the Phoenix Program came to life. A one of its kind acceleration program, Phoenix has been specially designed to create the next generation of Top Online Educators. A rigorous 12-week program, future Educators joining the program will be mentored by the best in the industry, and will have access to all the resources and knowledge to be able to become a Top Online Educator in the country.

Mentored by the best

At the heart of the program, lies the belief that via Phoenix, incumbents will not only be adept at teaching online, but will consequently help shape a tomorrow where learners have access to the best Educators irrespective of where they come from.

An exclusive program such as this means that only the ones who are passionate about the cause, find a place in it. A good Educator is a learner first and willing to learn, unlearn and relearn. The impact that Unacademy creates in the lives of learners is shaped by its Educators. With the Phoenix Program, Unacademy takes the promise of democratising knowledge a notch above by enabling the ones who will shape this future where quality education is available to all. Thus, the ones who have made the cut for the first cohort of the program are driven and passionate individuals who want to make a difference, and are willing to go the extra mile to deliver what it takes.

A rigorous and intensive selection process later, the Phoenix Program was kicked off via a virtual event last week. From meeting batch mates to interacting with mentors to understanding what lies ahead, the event saw a mix of excitement, joy and an eager wait for the orientation week.

Those who made the cut!

As Phoenix Program crosses its penultimate stage and breaks into an exhilarating and illustrious start, we are looking forward to all the selected few who made it. Unacademy is shaping the way education is imparted, and Phoenix is a big part of the revolution we are stirring.
