Everybody is a Geniī…
(Genius)
but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
At The Genius School, a Self Directed Learning Community, EVERYONE gets to be FREE to Be Me!
Create your Dream Learning Community with The Genius School!
Self Directing your own learning at The Genius School begins with The Genius Conversation.
It’s is a discovery for what really matters to you and your Learner!
We begin by asking:
What’s NOT working in your current learning community?
Who do you never get to BE in school?
If you could BE _____, what would you be able to DO? What could you HAVE as a result?
Learners & Parents invent a possibility for who they get to BE in school!
Our X-factor: We build The Genius School based on YOUR LEARNER'S POSSIBILITY
The new possibility I’m inventing for myself in school is the possibility of BEing . . .
If your Learner could BE the Possibility they invented . . . what could they DO?
What would they love to DO with others?
Learners create and lead Collab Studios based on common interests. Collab Studios are 100% student led!
What REAL LIFE SKILLS will they need?
Genius Facilitators INVITE Learners to
Know Thy Self by creating Good Experiences
Know Thy Source; how do you manage your physical, mental and social wellbeing?
Know how to be Financially Sustained- learn about all forms of currency. How will you provide for yourself?
Know Thy World- where have you been? What other cultures have you engaged with and how has it affected you?
Know how to Serve Thy Community with your GENIUS!- how do you create solutions for others?
What school subjects do they want to gain confidence in or what needs to be included in a high school transcript?
Choose an online or in person course.

“I am inventing the Possibility of my Learner being FREE, Joyful and Connected at The Genius School!”
— a Founding Family with a 10 year old Learner
🚫 “I only want to go to regular school to have more friends.”
💡WE FIXED THAT!
If your Unschooled/ Homeschooled teen wants to go to public school, invite them to join us instead!
We’re creating large social circles without giving up freedom & autonomy!
Traditional schools were designed to make kids obedient workers.
We’re building something designed for self-sovereign creators.
The same freedom and choice in your homeschool, but BIGGER to allow for greater social connections!
