FROM OUR FOUNDERS
We’ve ditched the outdated, snooze-worthy school model and reimagined learning as an adventure, one that empowers young people to lead their own lives first and then inspire others. Here, imagination and heart aren’t just encouraged; they’re the driving force behind both academic and social growth.
After spending years in both private and public school systems, we saw the same heartbreaking pattern: kids and teens disengaged, stressed, anxious, and (let’s be real) bored out of their minds. Their natural curiosity, risk-taking spirit, and passion for learning were being crushed under the weight of standardized tests, rote memorization, and endless competition. School became a rat race, with students chasing goals set by someone else instead of discovering what truly lit them up inside. Worst of all, failure was treated like a dead end instead of what it really is, a stepping stone to growth.
We couldn’t stand by and watch the spark fade from their eyes. So, we decided to shake things up.
ACIL International High School, a place where learning feels more like stepping into the magic of Disney World, the innovation of MIT, the exploration of NASA, the cozy connection of Starbucks, and the deep sense of belonging championed by Brené Brown.
This is a learning lab, not a lecture hall. It’s a space where young minds experiment, create, and grow into the best version of themselves, naturally and joyfully.
