Learning usefully useless crap
Crap Academy is the funnest place to hang out on skool when you'd rather play hooky. The classrooms? Yooseful. The certificates? I have 3 so far! The people? My kind of clowns... The Dean? Dumbassery extraordinaire! You should definitely check out Crap Academy. Let your inner nerd earn certification in useless knowledge 🤓

So Much Fun
I enjoy Crap Academy because it is just fun. No worries about saying the wrong thing or am I going to be offensive. Jokes are allowed, puns are appreciated and silliness is expected. It is a breath of fresh air (even though it is called crap academy) in a world where there is too much heaviness.

I found my people!
This Skool community is truly a sanctuary. Melissa is so sweet and after being in the community only a few days I already feel like she’s a good friend. I want to make tea and stitch with her in real life, every day!

Wonderful community full of learning
I love that every level of learning is welcome. The monthly crochet alongs are so much fun to see take shape. I have really enjoyed learning new stitches, and love being able to share my projects. The community and support make me feel like anything and everything is possible.

Amazing for newbies and experienced hook-ees
This was one of the first groups I joined on Skool a couple Of weeks ago. Always welcoming. Great lessons. And the people there are super friendly and helpful. Just a joyous place to be.
