Who we are:

MasterClass is transforming online education by enabling anyone in the world to learn from the very best. We are deconstructing what makes an actor able to cry on demand, how an athlete defies gravity, and what it takes to write a bestseller. Our online learning content is available to students anywhere anytime, which supports our mission to democratize education.

Since our launch in 2015, we have been growing our team, and have created unique online classes taught by famous masters—Gordon Ramsay, Hans Zimmer, deadmau5, Werner Herzog, Shonda Rhimes, Serena Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Jane Goodall, James Patterson, Aaron Sorkin, Annie Leibovitz, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Will Wright, Malcolm Gladwell, and many more to come.
