Wharton Global Youth: Online learning has never been so beautiful

We all had our share of dating to grumpy zoom. It can be annoying to connect to people and class work on a computer screen, rather than face to face. You mean, I have to sit down through another distant conference? Extinguished camera.

Change your state of mind! We are here to tell you why online learning with Wharton Global Youth seems really different from what you could expect.

In fact, don't believe yourself (after all, we are a little biased). Instead, gather information from someone who probably looks like you a lot.

Ina N. is a senior with the Lower Cape May Régional High School in New Jersey, in the United States, in the summer of 2025, Ina studied online with Wharton Global Youth in our Avenir of the business world program and was also an active member of our World Jeetup of Young Online community, to which all online learners have access.

We have just learned that INA goes to Princeton University in the fall to study mathematics and economy. First of all, she wants to share how she fully adopted commercial education for the first time with Wharton Global Youth – without ever leaving her house.

Wharton World Young World Program: Southern New Jersey is a quick trip through the Delaware river of the Wharton school in Philadelphia. Why did you choose to study online with us, rather than a person?

In are: The most attractive part of online learning was that I could immerse myself in commercial education all summer. I was particularly interested in the Wharton Global Youth Meetup (Gym) for its networking and creation opportunities. I found gymnasium activities like the Comment and win And Explore business activities like Creation of a brand video for Levi's To complete the subjects that I learned during my future of the business world. I appreciated a balanced summer with an excellent online education in the comfort of my hometown. (Discover one of the in winning comments From the commentary and the victory of 2025 Competition.)

Wharton Global Youth: Was your online experience different from what you expected?

In are: Wharton Future of The Business World was an important part of my commercial education. I fell in love with subjects like product Design that I had not previously explored in depth in a high school class. Before starting the program, I felt nervous that I would not be able to participate in many class discussions because I had limited knowledge in different areas of activity. However, I quickly realized how easy and fun it was to chat with my classmates, in particular given the in -depth documents which were provided to us to extend our knowledge between the classes.

Wharton Global Youth: How was online learning in the future of the business world unique?

In are: Wharton Global Youth has incredible learning resources exceeding those of other online courses that I followed. Two simulations on retail and venture capital The investment caught my attention, promoting an interactive learning environment that makes you feel like a real commercial student sailing collegial topics. Knowing that I could always reach out to my teachers or my educational assistants to get advice also gave life to my online learning.

Wharton Global Youth: How was it different from your other online learning experiences?

In are: This online learning experience is very interactive and is not taught in a style based on conferences where you listen, take notes and memorize content for the next class. Instead, students apply the knowledge they teach in class to the activities they finish with other students. One of my favorite class days has consisted in discovering the product design process, interviewing Penn's current students on their culinary experiences and thinking about a prototype with my team that met the key needs that we identified. I was constantly engaged in various tasks that stimulated my critical thinking and collaboration skills in a commercial context.

Wharton Global Youth: You spoke with the students of Penn. Have you also communicated with your Wharton class instructor?

In are: I loved the virtual time sessions of the office that my teachers organized. In a small group of students, I openly engaged in conversations on all the subjects that came to mind. Our discussions went from the basics of university education to the implications of AI in our society and to the importance of cultural conscience in global commercial enterprises. This FBW experience was really revealing because I thought more strongly that commercial education was the right way for me.

Wharton Global Youth: Have you established solid links with your classmates?

In are: I worked with students from around the world. My class quickly exchanged social media And emails, making our learning community more interconnected and friendly. Networking with my comrades was a highlight of my world online youth experience, since I have shared and learned about different cultures, experiences and points of view. Even after the end of my online experience, my learning and the friendships that I made did not do. If you are looking for an experience that fills your summer and triggers a much longer commercial education course, I highly recommend learning with Wharton Global Youth.
