Applications open · Cohort dates set once a group forms

Apply to a cohort. It costs nothing and it never will.

We are not announcing a start date we might miss. Applications are open now; when enough students in compatible timezones have applied, we schedule that cohort and write to everyone who applied. Every application gets a reply either way.

Application

Two minutes. No essay, no transcript, no fee.

We are not selecting for the strongest students. We are selecting for a group that can meet at the same hour. Tell us where you are and we will do the rest.

How it works

01
Apply
Two minutes. No essay, no transcript, no recommendation letters, no fee.
02
Guardian confirms
We email the parent or guardian with exactly what the course involves and the safeguarding rules. Nothing proceeds until they reply.
03
We form a cohort
When twelve compatible applications exist, we propose a weekly time and confirm it with everyone.
04
Eight weeks
One hour a week, live, with an adult present and a shared notebook.
05
Publish
Your capstone dossier is reviewed and, if you and your guardian want it to be, published in the registry under your name.

Before you apply

Please read how we keep students safe. It is short, it is specific, and it is the part we would want to read first if we were the parent.

An adult is present in every session
No one-to-one contact, ever
A guardian consents in writing for every participant under 18
Cameras optional, recordings explicit
