Who We Are
Real World Academy is a social enterprise and nonprofit educational consulting organization headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, USA. We are the only organization to provide college counseling and career readiness training for students from their freshman year of high school through their senior year of college. We provide virtual 1 on 1 mentorship, access to internships, and exclusive resources to help our students realize their full potential in the real world.
What We Do
Through our high school institutes, we assist high school junior and senior students in navigating the college application process, by providing in-person and /or online consulting to help them stay organized and meet all their deadlines.
In addition, we also provide career guidance and counseling. Our college institutes (most notably our Newark College Institute) offer comprehensive, integrated, and personalized web-based college admissions and career planning tools, along with access to a vast network of internship opportunities, all to help students and young adults thrive in the real world.
Our Philosophy
Real World Academy was founded with the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to realize their full potential.
By delivering affordable college and career services along with ongoing support, we ensure each student will achieve a successful transition into the real world.
Our Approach
We focus equal attention on monitoring students’ performance in school, and personal growth outside of the classroom. This all-encompassing relationship allows RWA to mold students into motivated and fulfilled young professionals over time. RWA is responsible for guiding students as they design their future. This includes discovering and fostering students’ passions, promoting high academic achievement, and creating a plan for maintaining post-secondary success.
Our approach to counseling is both holistic and academically driven. For this reason, we specialize in the following areas.
Help Us Change Lives
Together we can make a difference. Real World Academy is proud to donate a portion of all service fees to sponsor individuals who are unable to pay for our services. To learn more about our charitable organization, read how we are changing lives.
