For families
The High School Masterclass is what we built for high school students: a live session every week in real data science, taught by working practitioners, in the same professional environment our adult programs use.
AI coaching is built into the practice sessions. The coach takes the stakeholder's part, and your student works the problem in whatever medium the question actually calls for.
What that means literally: AI coaching built into practice sessions, stakeholder simulation where a student presents a plan and defends it when someone pushes back, and no-code visual builds alongside code builds, because plenty of real work is a plan rather than a script.
AI as copilot, not autopilot. Students are taught to direct the machine and defend the output, which is the habit that outlasts whatever tool they end up using.
Shaped like a school year because that is the rhythm you are already planning against. Every phase names the thing that appears on the screen, not the topic it came from.
A student who has never written a line of code opens a notebook in the browser and gets a real answer out of real data in the first session.
In these weeksOpen a dataset nobody has prepared for them and find something in it worth telling you about.
Writes and runs Python. Works with real data rather than classroom exercises. This is the line that separates a student who has taken a coding class from one who has used code to answer a question.
The stretch where it stops being exercises. One sports data project, carried from a question through to a finding, at their own pace.
In these weeksExplain a result to a room, including what it does not prove.
An independent research project with a written conclusion. Something concrete to name in an essay, an interview, or a supplemental question, with a link attached rather than a claim.
The part that outlasts the school year: a page they can send to anyone, with real work on it and their name at the top.
In these weeksSend a link to a teacher, a coach, or an admissions reader and have it stand on its own.
A live portfolio URL with two projects on it. The rare thing a high school student can put on an application that a reader can actually open and check.
Someone walks up and wants an answer. Practice runs on a clock, in the same provisioned environment the sessions use, and the review afterwards is about the thinking rather than the answer.
Practice runs in a timed provisioned environment, the same one the sessions run in. You get a real task and a clock, not a quiz. The session is recorded, and the review afterwards is about the reasoning you showed rather than whether you reached the expected answer.
Scenarios are written the way the question actually arrivesMost technical programs stop at the code. This one does not, because the students who go furthest are the ones who can say what they found and why it matters to somebody who does not code.
Technical writing is taught as its own skill: writing up a finding so a reader can follow the reasoning, state what the work shows, and state what it does not. Presenting to a non-technical audience is practised out loud, with questions afterwards, because a result nobody understood is a result nobody used.
These are the parts that transfer to every subject, every application essay, and every job they will ever have, whether or not they end up writing code for a living.
Students work in Python and R, the two languages this field actually runs on, in a provisioned professional environment that opens from a browser. Nothing to install on a school laptop and nothing for a parent to configure. They use version control from early on, which is how professional work is kept and reviewed everywhere, and they practise explaining technical work to people who do not code, which is the skill that survives whatever happens to any particular tool.
Every session is taught live and recorded, so a student who misses one for a game or a meet has not missed the material. What they finish with is showable work built on professional tools, and we describe what they build rather than where it takes them.
The skills a student builds here are the same foundations our Career Programs are built on, taught at a high school level.
Education savings account programs differ by state and their rules change without notice to vendors. Here is exactly where we stand.
Arizona. We are an approved ClassWallet vendor, which is the platform Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account program pays through. We provide an itemized invoice separating live instruction from curriculum, which is the documentation these programs ask for.
Florida is pending. It runs through a different administrator and a different marketplace. We are working through it and it is not live yet. That is the whole of what we can say today.
Whether your account covers it is your program administrator's decision, not ours. We would not want to speak for them, and a vendor who guesses wrong costs a family money. Ask them, and we will provide whatever documentation they need.
We describe what your student builds. We do not promise admission, a scholarship, or a job. The program is a defined pathway to a verifiable digital credential. We provide completion records. We are not a degree-granting or accrediting institution, and we make no claim about admissions, scholarships, or placement.
Every live room, the recordings, the code, and the environment, behind one door.
