The Summit Workshop
For 14-18 year olds
It’s time to get ready to ready these teenagers for adulthood! While the world changes quickly into the unknown, we’ll prepare them for their future with lots of practice solving different real world problems that exist today.
Core Work
We’ll continue using proven homeschool curriculum that will include books and online courses that can easily be translated into a high school transcript. Their core work’s difficulty will increase and will take about three hours each day to complete.
They’ll have the most number of badges to choose from and master. We’ll also expect a ‘voluntaryist’ badge to be completed by serving the younger learners and the community.
Afternoon Projects (Quests)
Science labs will be hands on and quests will begin to evolve into longer apprenticeships, starting their own businesses, extensive projects, or even just studying for college entrance exams.
Honors/AP Classes
The projects summiters work on would count as honors level at any high school. We’ll have some AP classes available via Khan Academy and we’re working on having official AP project based courses available starting in the 2026 - 2027 school year.
