Khan Academy

The Khan Academy is an organization on a mission. We're a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere.
I am thinking that resources like this are a wonderful opportunity to combine a love of travel with a yearning for knowledge.
All of the site's resources are available to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler, principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. The Khan Academy's materials and resources are available to you completely free of charge.

The Khan Academy is another oasis in the field of learning. Too often, complacency leads learners to believe that traditional institutions of knowledge are the primary source for learning, which is not only unsustainable and with questionable intentions, but lacks the ability to recognize the needs and wants of individual learners. Institutional curriculums lack the flexibility required by learners that wish to broaden their horizons independently, rather than to simply follow the instruction of those with the blessing of the State.

Chose your own path. Never stop learning.
