Kids need to learn 10 times faster.

And so we built an engine, learning engine, all the talk about AI and learning science, where kids can learn 10 times faster.

In our school, kids go in, spend two hours a day with the AI tutor.

With screen time and all the things around that, we obviously consider very good screen time and they learn 10 times faster.

So our academic performance is the top of any school in the country and we do it in dramatically less time.

And then the key to that is once you can crush your academics in two hours a day, the natural follow-on question is, well, what do you do the rest of the day?

Because I can tell you as principal, the one thing parents don't want you to do is send them home.

after two hours?

What do you do for the four hours?

And so that's where we talk about life skills.

And this is, you know, in reimagining, what are all the things that as a parent

We want beyond pure academics, leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, relationship building, socialization, hard work, grit, storytelling, public speaking, all of those kind of things.

We do all of that in the rest of the day.

And those are big project-based workshops that are super fun for the kids and team-based, not screen time.

And to that point you make, every parent wants to educate the kid the way they were.
