to a new school of thought

Mobile Academics

Academic courses are conducted through our proprietary online learning platform and taught by our global faculty. Our unique, interactive platform enables students to connect with peers from other countries and cultures, learn from our exceptional teaching faculty, and attend classes flexibly from anywhere in the world.

Studio Environment

The studio serves as the dynamic hub for our tight-knit community of mixed-age learners to connect with each other and our team of onsite mentors. Our open-space studio provides an ideal environment for individual meetings with mentors, collaborative project work, independent study, and community events.

Custom-Fit Schedules

Rather than following a prescribed, standard-issue schedule, our students partner with their mentors to develop individualized daily and weekly schedules for their on- and off-site learning. Through the process of co-designing and constantly refining their flexible schedules, students learn to manage their time comfortably and effectively to fulfill their responsibilities, achieve their goals, and pursue their passions.
