What dream has you?

We believe most schools don't help young people discover their gifts, talents, passions, interests, or dreams; instead they convince them that there are limited paths to success. We believe that if young people were surrounded by a supportive community of peers and mentors, they could define success on their own terms.

You can design your own school

"School is a community of learners" - Sir Ken Robinson

Your dream is unique. It requires you actively engage in imagining it, developing it, and figuring out how to create it.  It's likely that this isn’t part of the curriculum at your current school.  The Create Your Own School Community is a place to find other young people who are committed to exploring our edges, creating ourselves, developing our voice, and making our dreams come true. Here we can focus on learning what we want, how we want, and from who we want.

Teens! Create Your Own School

On October 12, 2020, three of our founders were interviewed for the Emergency Home Learning Summit by unschooling researcher, Dr. Gina Riley.  

Warning

What this community is NOT

This is not a place to tell other people what you think they should do or believe. It's also not a place to hide – you will be seen and heard, if that makes you uncomfortable then this might not be for you.
