Leaving School

Your child is sleeping until midday. This turns that time into a skill they'll use for the rest of their life.

A one-week live AI course for school leavers. No coding required. Real tools, built from scratch.

Places are capped at 15. Once a cohort fills, it's gone.

Ages 16–18
Format Live remote · 2 hrs/day
Cohort size Max 15 students
Price £1,000 all-inclusive

Schools are doing their best. But AI is moving faster than any institution can keep up with.

It's not a criticism — it's a structural reality. The curriculum that was written three years ago cannot teach what's relevant today.

Your child is heading into university, jobs, and a career in a world where everyone will be expected to work alongside AI tools. Most of them will arrive with no real understanding of what those tools can actually do, or how to build anything useful with them.

There's a gap. And summer is the right time to close it.

Leaving School is a one-week live remote course for 16–18 year olds.

Small cohorts of up to 15 students. Two hours a day, every day, with a practitioner who builds AI-powered businesses for a living.

Students don't study AI theory. They build things.

By Friday, they leave with a personal AI toolkit, a working project, and a concrete understanding of how AI agents actually work — not how a textbook describes them.

The course runs entirely online. All they need is a laptop.

By the end of the week, your child will have:

These are not hypothetical projects. They run on their laptop. They take them home.

Not for computer scientists. Not for coders.

This course is for the student who is computer-literate but has never written a line of code, and who doesn't plan to. The student heading to study History, Economics, Medicine, Law, Architecture, or Business who knows AI is relevant but doesn't know where to start.

If your child can use Google Docs and send an email, they can do this course.

The one thing it requires is curiosity. Not prior knowledge.

Everything they need. Nothing they don't.

Week structure

Day 1 How AI agents actually work. Open a terminal. Run your first agent.
Day 2 Build your AI research assistant. Learn to give it roles and instructions.

Common questions

Does my child need to know how to code?

No. This course assumes no coding experience. Students will use a terminal and write instructions in plain English. The goal is to understand how to direct AI tools, not to become a software engineer.

My child is doing A-levels in humanities, social sciences, or medicine. Is this relevant for them?

Especially for them. AI tools are going to change how research, writing, analysis, and problem-solving work in every field. A student going into Law or Medicine who understands how to work with AI agents will have a significant advantage over one who doesn't. The course is designed for exactly this student.

What does "live remote" mean in practice?

Students join a video session each day, like a small seminar. The instructor leads the session, students follow along on their own laptop, building as they go. There's a maximum of 15 students per cohort, so it's interactive, not a lecture.

What is Claude, and why does my child need it?

Claude is an AI platform made by Anthropic, one of the leading AI safety companies. It's the tool students will use to build their agents during the course. Access for the month is included in the course price, so there's nothing to set up or pay for separately before day one.

What happens after the week is over?

Students leave with working projects on their own machine, all the course materials, and a month of Claude access to keep building. The skills they develop — understanding how to instruct AI agents, how to structure problems, how to evaluate outputs — carry forward. This is not a one-week exercise. It's a foundation.
