Find the right starting point

Every family starts the same way: with a free evening workshop (INS 101, about 70 minutes, students and parents together) or a free intro call. From there, choose what fits your student’s timing.

How it Works

Programs for every stage of the transition

Before college

Becoming

Four 2-hour sessions, the deeper series for the move to college, built on four questions: Who am I? Why am I here? How shall I live? What is mine to do? Students build a College Compass, a personal roadmap they keep adding to through college. Small groups of 3–4 or a cohort of 6–10, with a parent session.

Through the first year

Boot Camp · 1:1 Coaching

INS 201 Boot Camp: six small-group sessions in two parts. A summer launch on time, study skills and exams, then three first-semester sessions on becoming a learner, building a support network, and staying well. Independent Study: weekly one-on-one coaching, in person or virtual, adjusted week to week, with the closest parent communication of any option. Parent coaching, about monthly, is also available.

For college-bound and homeschooled teens

Critical Thinking Practicum

Thinking that holds up when it counts. Students practice a small set of thinking moves, like checking who’s behind a claim or arguing the other side, in their own coursework, the sources they read, and real decisions. One-on-one (60 minutes) or small group (90 minutes, 4–6 students). Homeschool families can document it as a [half / full]-credit elective with a portfolio.


New · For students and parents

Using AI Without Losing the Learning

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Two 90-minute sessions on using AI as a coach, not a crutch: where it helps learning, where it gets in the way, and what to watch for. Parents join at the end to build a family AI plan. For juniors through first-year college students.
