Opportunity. Excellence. Innovation.

An accessible, life-changing education that doesn’t break the bank should be more than possible – it should be expected.
Since our founding, we’ve believed that a school should be judged by who we include, not who we exclude. That the most relevant learning comes from lived experiences of experts who are leaders in their fields, not separate from them.

That to build tomorrow, we need to be able to put education to work today, supporting students where they are, all with radically affordable tuition.
