The Yard

Learn about our virtual campus, “The Yard”, and what sets it apart from other online learning environments.

What is ‘the yard’?

The Yard is more than just a place for online classes. It's a vibrant virtual campus where students can interact, collaborate, and have fun. They can chat in real time, work on projects together, and even move around using go-karts. Students express themselves with custom avatars, adding a personal touch to their learning experience.


One special thing about The Yard is how it brings students together. When users get close in this virtual space, their microphones and cameras switch on. This makes it feel like they're really meeting face-to-face. The Yard combines learning with social experiences, making online classes more real, engaging, and enjoyable.

"The strength and beauty of CATALYST lie in its digital establishment, allowing us to tap into a wealth of knowledge, practices, and people. This course provides a unique opportunity to understand change and explore its drivers, all at your fingertips, just one click away."

Education without limits

We believe that where you are shouldn’t limit what you learn or who you meet. The Yard uses the latest technology to remove these barriers. We bring students from around the world into one learning community. In today's world, where everything is connected, we think education should have no borders. It should be about how eager you are to learn and grow.
