What If Your Child Could Build the AI Instead of Fear It?
You're right to worry about AI changing everything. But the answer isn't to hide from technology — it's to master it. The Academy prepares students to lead the AI economy, not be displaced by it.

Two Futures. One Decision.
There will be two kinds of people in the AI economy. Those who build the tools, lead the companies, and shape how technology serves humanity — and those who are displaced by it.
Displaced by AI
Traditional schools emphasize the exact skills AI does best — following instructions, memorizing information, and performing repetitive tasks.
- Trained to follow procedures
- Memorize facts AI can retrieve instantly
- No exposure to AI tools or workflows
- Graduate competing against automation
- Curriculum unchanged for decades
Leading the AI Future
Academy students learn to create, lead, think critically, and work alongside AI as a collaborator — the skills AI cannot replace.
- Trained to create and innovate
- Build AI tools and understand how they work
- AI integrated into every part of learning
- Graduate ready to lead AI-driven organizations
- Curriculum evolving with the technology
Traditional Schools Are Training Students for the Past
Most schools are still teaching the same curriculum they taught 30 years ago. The world has changed. The skills that matter have changed. Education hasn't kept up.
| What Traditional Schools Teach | What the AI Economy Demands |
|---|---|
| Follow instructions precisely | Create new solutions to novel problems |
| Memorize and recall information | Synthesize information into original insight |
| Perform repetitive, structured tasks | Design systems and lead complex projects |
| Test well on standardized exams | Build things that create real value |
| Avoid technology in the classroom | Master AI as a creative collaborator |
| Prepare for a single career path | Adapt to a world that transforms constantly |
The first column describes exactly what AI does best. Students trained only in these skills are competing directly against technology — and technology will win.
Students Don't Just Use AI. They Build It.
Most schools ban AI from the classroom. We put it at the center. Academy students learn how AI works under the hood — and create their own.
Build Your Own AI Bot
In this hands-on course, students don't just learn about AI — they build a moving, talking AI bot with their own custom avatar. They design its personality, train its responses, and understand every layer of how it works.
- Design and animate a custom AI avatar
- Train conversational AI with real language models
- Understand neural networks, prompts, and AI architecture
- Ship a working bot they can demonstrate to anyone
- Demystify the technology shaping every industry
Understand the Architecture
Students learn how AI models actually work — not as a black box, but as systems they can understand, critique, and improve.
Hands-On Building
Every AI concept is paired with a project. Students create real artifacts — bots, tools, and applications — not just essays about technology.
Expanding AI Curriculum
Our programming and AI course offerings continue to grow as the technology evolves — because the curriculum should move as fast as the industry.
AI Is Woven Into Every Part of the Academy
Academy students don't just take an AI class — they learn alongside AI every day. Seven purpose-built AI assistants support every step of their education, teaching them to work with technology as naturally as breathing.
Sage AI Tutor Every Course
24/7 Socratic tutoring built into every single course. When students get stuck at 11 PM, Sage is there — guiding them to the answer through questions, not just handing them solutions.
Ace Writing Assistant
Real-time writing guidance that helps students strengthen their arguments, refine their voice, and develop the communication skills AI can't replace.
Zip AI Pacing Coach
Monitors progress and engagement patterns, helping students stay on track and develop the self-management skills essential for remote work and entrepreneurship.
Dot AI Teaching Assistant
Interactive mastery assessments that adapt to each student's learning level — because understanding should be measured, not assumed.
Sid AI Support
24/7 customer support that ensures students and families never wait for answers to logistical or technical questions.
The Result? AI Fluency — Not AI Fear.
By graduation, Academy students have worked alongside AI for thousands of hours. They understand its strengths, its limitations, and how to leverage it. That fluency is something no traditional school provides — and no crash course can replicate.
We Teach the Skills AI Cannot Replace
AI can follow instructions, generate content, and process data. It cannot lead, create original vision, build relationships, or make ethical decisions. These are the skills that will define the leaders of the AI economy.
Original Thinking
AI remixes existing ideas. Humans create genuinely new ones. Our students practice identifying problems nobody else has named — and designing solutions nobody else has imagined.
Project-based courses across every subjectLeadership & Persuasion
AI can generate a business plan. It can't inspire a team to execute one. Our students develop real leadership skills through business education and industry mentorship.
Silicon Valley Business School + Liquidity ClubEthical Judgment
The hardest questions in AI aren't technical — they're moral. Who gets to use this technology? How should it be regulated? Our students wrestle with these questions now, before they're making the decisions.
Critical thinking integrated across all courseworkRadical Adaptability
The average worker will hold 12–15 positions in their lifetime. Self-paced learning teaches students to manage their own time, motivation, and progress — the exact skills remote work and entrepreneurship demand.
Self-paced learning model builds lifelong habitsThe Questions You're Really Asking
"AI is going to take all the jobs — what's even the point of education?"
AI will eliminate some jobs, yes — the ones built on repetitive tasks and rote knowledge. But it will also create entirely new industries, roles, and opportunities. The point of education is to make sure your child is on the creating side of that equation. Academy students graduate understanding how AI works, how to build with it, and how to lead organizations that use it.
"How do I prepare my child for a future I can't even imagine?"
You can't predict specific jobs. But you can prepare your child with skills that transfer to any future: critical thinking, adaptability, technological fluency, and the ability to create value. The Academy was built by people who helped create Silicon Valley — they understand how rapidly technology changes, and they've designed a curriculum that evolves with it.
"My child needs to learn technology, not just use it. How is the Academy different?"
Most schools treat technology as a distraction to be managed. We treat it as a tool to be mastered. Academy students don't just scroll through AI outputs — they build their own AI bots, understand how language models work, and learn to think like the engineers creating these tools. That's the difference between consuming technology and creating it.
"Schools seem so disconnected from what's actually happening in the world."
They are. Most schools still teach the same curriculum they taught decades ago because they're designed for stability, not responsiveness. The Academy was founded by a former Apple executive and is led by professionals from companies like Tesla — people who live at the intersection of technology and business. Our curriculum updates because we understand what the economy actually demands.
"I'm scared my child will be left behind."
That fear is valid — and it's the right instinct. The students most at risk are those being trained to follow instructions, memorize information, and perform repetitive tasks — exactly the skills AI does best. The students who will thrive are those who learn to create, lead, and work alongside AI. The Academy specifically prepares students for the second path.
"Is AI literacy really as important as you're saying?"
AI literacy is becoming as fundamental as reading literacy. Students who graduate without it will be at a permanent disadvantage in college applications, internships, and careers. Academy students graduate having used AI as a daily collaborator for years — not as a novelty, but as a natural part of how they think, learn, and create.
— Academy ParentI used to lie awake worrying about my daughter's future. AI is changing everything — what education could possibly prepare her? Then we found a school that didn't teach her to fear technology. It taught her to lead it.
There are two kinds of futures: leading technological change, or being displaced by it. See how the Academy prepares your child for the first kind.
