All Learning Unlimited efforts have the same mission - to give teachers and students the opportunity to share in a love for learning and discover their passions.

Hear what students have to say about Rainstorm!
“Here is one of the few places where I can be sure to learn something amazing and super cool that I never would have learned anywhere else, with a huge variety in programs that let you learn literally ANYTHING, even things you never would have imagined.”
“In the current COVID-world, Rainstorm was incredible, and very accessible, and I am so thankful for it!”
"At Rainstorm, I learned a lot! I learned a bit about the Persian Wars, the history of flags, political theory, and also some practical real world lessons! I really enjoyed Rainstorm! I loved the effort made by the staff to foster a sense of community even in this time of distance. I really liked the interactive nature of many of my courses and the flexibility and variation that come with the program." -Delaney, Tennessee
“It’s fun, educational, and weird! (In a good way)”
"I learned about a lot of stuff at Rainstorm like quantum circuits, engineering, algorithms, cellular automata and much more. I cannot say which topic is my favourite because I liked all the classes very much. My future ambition is to be a robotics engineer. I feel very awesome to be part of your community and thank you for giving me this opportunity." -Amit, India
