Freshman Year
Full immersion in entrepreneurship and building. Students leave freshman year with the experience, skills, and mindset to go build a $1M company.
The Four Pillars of Founder Bootcamp
From day one, you're launching real businesses. Every week: generate ideas, pick the best one, run a live market test, get in front of real customers. By the end of freshman year you've launched dozens of ventures, run 30+ validation cycles, and identified the opportunity worth going all-in on.
Hands-on training in the skills that actually move businesses: building with AI, sales, copywriting, virality, design, and financial management. Every skill is applied directly to your live work — no theory, no simulations, no classroom exercises.
3–4 project-based placements with top entrepreneurs, operators, and executives from the Alpha network. Each placement is 6–8 weeks, scoped to a real business problem. You graduate out when your own business demands full attention.
Every week you're in the room with active builders and legendary entrepreneurs — not polished success stories, but how it actually started. Paired with a curated stack of foundational books, articles, and podcasts that compound everything else you're doing.

The Guarantee
Not aid. Not a scholarship. A bet on you.
One person with AI can build what used to take twenty. A teenager can build what used to take a decade.
If you don't hit it, we failed. Full refund.
Questions
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. Full refund if you don't hit it.
9th through 12th grade — all four years of high school. The first class starts Fall 2026 with a cohort of 20 freshmen. We're primarily admitting freshmen, but will consider particularly strong sophomores and juniors.
AI-accelerated, mastery-based academics. Students work through core subjects at their own pace using AI tools — no lectures, no busywork. Most finish by 11 a.m., freeing up the rest of the day to build.
Yes. 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.
Founder Bootcamp gives you the skills, apprenticeships, and a validated business. Then three years scaling toward $1M.
Yes. Students who don't put in the effort or who drag down the cohort culture will be removed. The standard exists to protect the students who are all-in.
CCAT + MAPS + AI interview, then The Forge (4 weeks remote, field cut to 40), then The Arena (in person, 1 month, rolling eliminations). Anyone still standing earns their spot.
If you're exceptional, we'll find a way. Don't let tuition stop you.
Yes. Families relocate for elite sports academies and performing arts schools all the time — this is the same thing for entrepreneurship. In-person only, no exceptions.
For parents
Yes. Fully accredited. AI-accelerated academics consistently produce 1350+ SAT scores. The learning is compressed, not cut.
Top test scores. A portfolio of real businesses. These are the strongest applicants in the country. Many won't need to go. A company with revenue changes the math.
Full refund if they don't hit $1M by graduation. We only accept students we believe will.
Cohort of 20. Dedicated mentors. Structured wellness. Intense by design. The ones who thrive here already feel held back.
They leave. The skills go with them.
