The school for ambitious students.

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I won highest academic achievement in 8th grade and got into IB at one of Toronto's top high schools. Two years in I realized the system was a game. So I dropped IB, switched schools, and spent my time building things — apps with thousands of users, a student council win, code that mattered.

At 17 I built Vibegrade — an AI grading tool used by 12,000+ teachers. Forbes covered it. I emailed 78 of my own teachers to try it. Zero replied.

Then I got into Y Combinator. My school's response: take my diploma four credits short. Not for grades. Not for behavior. Because I was leaving the country for 3 months, to build my dream. Every course I had left was online, but they didn't care.

I spent another year building tools for schools and teachers. Then I realized the system was working exactly as designed — built in 1902 to make factory workers. It still does that. Well.

So I built the school I wished I'd had. AI required, not banned. Real artifacts students publish to the world, not essays nobody reads. A grade that reflects what you know now, not what you knew on a bad day in October.

If you've ever been the kid the system underestimated — I built this for you. If you're a parent who knows it isn't working — same.
