Launch Pad

high school studio (opening fall 2028)

Discover the next step in your Hero’s Journey and launch into your next great adventure with a vision and a calling that could change the world

Launch Pad learners get ready for real-world success by gaining valuable skills, mastering them through apprenticeships, and launching real startups, businesses and projects – whether that’s in business, science, humanities, or the arts. Apprenticeships increase in length and complexity, so by the time a young person leaves Launch Pad they have a portfolio of real-world work to prove what they can do.
