No compromise. Real performance.
We believe students shouldn’t have to choose between excellence in the classroom and excellence in life. Our approach combines personalized, mastery-based academics with elite training, mentorship, and real-world experience. The result is a smarter use of time, deeper learning, and students who perform at a high level while genuinely loving school.

Redefining Human Performance in Education.

“the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and as a people.”

Why a Non-traditional School?
The current American public education model was highly-effective at supporting society through the industrial age but is now tired and sclerotic. For example, the current hiring conditions among public schools have led to large deficits in the number and quality of available educator candidates, and students reporting low engagement, low relevancy and low hope, and colleges are reporting that kids are less and less prepared for academia
“Sam is the best teacher I’ve ever had. He talks up to people rather than down. He encourages doing the right thing simply for the sake of doing so. He is hilarious, overwhelmingly positive, and humbly tenacious.”
— Owen Grimmer
