Four years. Real AI products. Real revenue. You graduate with a company — and a diploma.
Our AI-accelerated academic model compresses a full school day into three focused hours — and consistently outperforms traditional classrooms. AI Academy stacks 1,000+ hours a year of real building on top.
Mastery-based, AI-tutored academics move students through core subjects at their own pace — no lectures, no busywork. Most finish by 11 a.m. The rest of the day belongs to building.
Purpose-built for this program. Dedicated workspace, fitness facilities, and a cohort environment engineered for focus. In-person only — because building real businesses takes real presence.
One student took a physical product from sketch to storefront — handling design, manufacturing, on-device AI, and the entire social launch.
Built an AI tutor for AP History and ran tens of thousands of simulated students through it every day to sharpen the material.
Booked five figures in the first month of a consulting practice helping small businesses hand off repetitive work to AI agents.
A teen behind a wave of AI-assisted campaigns getting independent films into theaters through short-form video and automation.
Shipped a scheduling and payments tool for a real trade business, deployed in days with AI, now billing real customers.
A student-run publication on how families can help kids thrive outside the traditional system — thousands of subscribers and counting.
Learn to think, sell, and ship — using AI to future-proof your skills and your career from the very first week.
Three-hour learning gives you 1,000+ extra hours a year. The five hours a traditional school wastes every day, redirected into building your business.
Founders, operators, and investors who've built what you want to build — in the room with you every week. Direct feedback on your business. Real relationships, not guest lectures.
Build with AI from day one — not as a novelty, but as a core skill. Vibe coding, AI agents, automation. Master them at 14.
Elite apprenticeships. Real projects. Weekly mentorship from founders who've built what you want to build.
Character. Business. AI. Academics done by 11 a.m.
Total immersion in entrepreneurship and building. Students leave Year One with the experience, skills, and mindset to go build a $1M company.
AI Academy students are domain experts who build an audience around their thinking and ship products that audience wants. Year One teaches you to run that loop — expertise, audience, product — in miniature every single week.
Each session runs 8 weeks. Sell strangers on the street. Ship a product in days with AI. Validate by running a loop a week. Grow with proven playbooks. Scale past the limits of what you can do alone.
Developed all year across three pillars: Life Skills (integrity, courage, agency, communication, leadership), Entrepreneurship (building, selling, iteration, financial thinking, domain expertise), and AI (thinking partner, augmented building, tool literacy, automation, judgment).
Every student is paired with a working entrepreneur who pair-works with them every afternoon — not a lecturer. Elite founders and investors drop in every other week, plus a specialist bench we pull from when your situation calls for it.
The full first-year plan: the five sessions, the fifteen skills, the capstones parents attend, and the observable work you'll deliver by the end.
Academics done by 11 a.m. Build until dark.
AI-accelerated. Mastery-based. Done by 11am.
Set goals. Get feedback. Stay accountable.
Eat with your cohort. Recharge.
Your business. Your time. Until dark.
Not aid. Not a scholarship. A bet on you. We're putting our money where our mouth is — if you don't hit it, we failed, and you get a full refund.
As a member of the inaugural class of AI Academy, you'll get unprecedented support and resources for your ambitions — and help shape the program alongside us.
Yes. Full-time, in person, on campus. This isn't a remote program or a part-time accelerator. Students show up every day and build alongside their cohort.
$1M in profit — real money. For students who enroll as freshmen, our guarantee applies: a full tuition refund if you don't hit it. Some exceptions apply per the enrollment agreement.
9th through 12th grade — all four years of high school. The first class starts Fall 2026 with 20 freshmen. We primarily admit freshmen but will consider especially strong sophomores and juniors.
AI-accelerated, mastery-based academics. Students work through core subjects at their own pace with AI tutors — no lectures, no busywork. Most finish by 11 a.m., freeing the rest of the day to build.
Yes. A fully accredited high school diploma with a complete college-prep transcript. College is absolutely an option — but after four years of building real businesses, you might not need it.
We steer students toward areas they're passionate about, scoped to reach profitability on minimal capital in a reasonable timeframe. We're not running a Series A pipeline — we teach students to build profitable companies they fully own, keeping their IP and equity.
We don't expect anyone to arrive with a business or even a strong idea — that's the point of Year One. Founder Bootcamp is built around 30+ rapid validation cycles, hands-on mentorship, and workshops in selling, AI building, and design. By the end, every student has launched something real.
Every student gets ongoing 1:1 mentorship from a founder or operator, plus weekly firesides with guests from the network — people running real companies, not professional speakers. The access is the kind most people only get through an elite university, accelerator, or VC firm.
Five stages: online application, an aptitude assessment, a build challenge + video, a 30-minute interview with the Head of Founder Development, and an in-person interview & school visit. Each stage narrows the field.
We have scholarships for exceptional candidates. We want the most ambitious teenagers in the world who are ready to go all-in — not just the ones who can afford it. Don't let tuition stop you from applying.
Yes — a fully accredited high school diploma with a complete college-prep transcript. The learning is compressed, not cut.
Your child will earn strong SAT scores, complete APs, and graduate with a college-prep transcript — plus a portfolio of real businesses. If they want college, they'll be more than ready. If they want to run their company instead, they'll be ready for that too.
For students who enroll as freshmen, our guarantee applies: if they don't reach $1M in profit by graduation, you receive a full tuition refund. Some exceptions apply — details are in the enrollment agreement.
Students are on campus 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday–Friday, with full staff coverage. The afternoon build block is structured — workshops, mentor sessions, apprenticeship check-ins — not unstructured time. We're a school first.
They are, and we treat them that way. The 8:15–5 schedule leaves evenings and weekends open — more open than most high schools, since we don't assign homework. Students keep their friend groups, build new ones in the cohort, and have time for the rest of being a teenager.
AI Academy runs on a proven AI-accelerated learning platform with years of test data behind it, led by operators who've built and scaled real companies. We're not a startup in a garage — we're an extension of an education model that's been working for years.
