Üleilmakool pakub väljaspool Eestit elavatele lastele võimalust õppida e-kursustel eesti keelt ja kirjandust, Eesti ajalugu ning Eesti maatundmist. Üleilmakool soovib kergendada ka eesti laste tagasipöördumist, pakkudes eesti keelele lisaks põhikooli matemaatika kordamise kursust. Üleilmakool on noor ja arenev, püüdes pakkuda just seda, mida välismaal elavad eesti lapsed vajavad eesti keele oskuse säilitamiseks ja arendamiseks.
