Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to cultivating an inclusive environment for students from all backgrounds.

Students from all backgrounds find success

App Academy goes further than any other program in selecting the highest quality student body. Our tuition model allows us to run a truly meritocratic admissions process, where students are selected based on their potential to succeed and not on how much they can pay.

Our grads make over $100k

Our grads more than double their initial salaries prior to joining, and earn a median base salary of $144,000 within three years of graduating App Academy.
