Study, Work, Code

We're more of a startup mindset than a school.  We welcome any level of expertise, so long as there's Silicon Valley effort, clean-cut ethics, and Christian values.  Rememeber, Charles Kirk did not "recommend" school debt, nor indoctrination.  It's better to think of this as an innovative gig, rather than a scattershot education.   There's 3 ways to engage the institute.  

Room and board always FREE (everyone) - if you are admitted - which is an open, friendly, cordial process.  As Christians we're looking to build up people and family - on the other hand we definitely don't subsidize bad behavior.  An excellent attitude is all you need, and a solid upbringing.

STUDY ($1000/month)

This is for beginners, and for those who cannot afford there's work/study (see below).  This includes free room/board, and so is remarkably low cost - it also helps defray the salary of the top coders, as we shoot to break even. Our main focus is to build profitable ventures.  If you cannot afford study fees, you may work (below).

WORK/STUDY (FREE - requires 40 hr/week)

This is a beautiful 38 acre "ranch", with plenty of work - firewood, forestry, building/carpentry, lumber, cooking, gardening.  This is an excellent pathway to "break into" software, for a diligent hard-worker.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERS (room/board + $1000/month)

Honestly, for a true full-stack engineer - you should move directly to Silicon Valley, even though we emulate that innovative ecosystem quite well here.  This level is built for a smart engineer who hasn't mastered the entire stack of tools - and is willing to work hard, support other Christians, collaborate, and flourish in this beautiful high-tech setting.  This level is designed for you to spend almost nothing, be unencumbered, work hard, save $12k/yr - as you help build our ecosystem.
