The virtual cohort experiences help build the three pillars of the complete student who will thrive in high school and stand apart in competitive college admissions. In dynamic peer settings, the cohorts cultivate self and interpersonal awareness, intellect, real-world fluency, and writing virtuosity in an AI-driven world. Depending on the cohort, students will engage in multisensory activities such as role play, field interviews, memory hacks and retrieval strategies, discuss TED talks from Ivy League scientists, or edit New York Times bestsellers.
