Course details
Course Overview
Young Scholars Academy's World of Warcraft: WoW Forever is a live, guided gaming group for teens ages 13 to 18, led by Ms. Wish. Teens team up to quest, run dungeons and take on small raids together, each playing a role so the whole group can win. They practice calling out plans, working through boss fights and adjusting when a plan fails, with a weekly crew of peers who love the same game.
Every session is a guided party
Depending on the week, the class splits into two small groups for quests and dungeons, or comes together as one full party for a raid. Students come up with strategies together, help each other through hard encounters and, hopefully, defeat a few bosses. Ms. Wish wants everyone to have fun playing together.
How Ms. Wish runs it
Ms. Wish keeps the group organized and makes sure every student has a role, so nobody is left on the sidelines. She keeps chat friendly and respectful, including when a run goes badly. Experienced players and brand-new ones learn from each other as they go.
Teamwork under pressure
Tanks, healers and damage dealers all have to do their part for the group to win. Teens call out plans, ask for help, learn boss mechanics and try again when a plan fails. It is real practice in clear communication with a group that depends on them.
A weekly crew
Small groups for quests and dungeons give quieter players room to speak up. Students can talk in voice or type in chat. Classes are small and camera-optional, with movement or quiet breaks when a student needs one.
Ages 13 to 18 · Prerequisites · Who it's for
Is this the right class for my kid?
They should already be able to…
log in to World of Warcraft with an active subscription before the first class.
Start here, or take something first?

Can they keep taking it?

New students
New and experienced players start together, and the group helps each other learn as it goes.
Returning students
Returning players bring what they learned, take on harder content and help newer teammates find their footing.
