Frequently Asked Questions

School should be creative, fun, and full of exploration. Modern education encourages conformity and learning a handful of “subjects” rather than how to build mental tools to quickly learn 100s of useful new skills. Academics are not the object at 10X Academy, they are merely a baseline to enable creation and the sparking of the imagination.

Traditional schools are failing boys. 60% of college graduates are now female. Boys drop out of high school at higher rates. School isn’t exciting, so boys aren’t learning the skills and character needed to develop into men. At 10X Academy, we believe that if it’s fun and competitive, boys will learn it.

Software and coding are as essential a language as literacy and math for the modern world. The 10X Academy robotics team finished in the top 16 in the world in 2021, and were runners at the United States Championships in 2022 and 2023. Your son will learn the same multidisciplinary approach to hardware, software, engineering, and working on a high functioning team.

Technology now allows personalized learning based on an individual learners’ capability and does not require 20 or 30 kids to move through material that is targeted to the median student in the class. That is an inefficient industrial age mindset. Mastery based education is the core principle and focus for our boys academically. We use a combination of in-person and software-based tools to achieve this.

Building things is fun for boys and has a definitive connection to the real world. Our projects involve working with your hands in activities like woodworking and soldering and applying real-word academic skills such as coding and persuasive writing. Competition provides the incentive for the students to learn how a group can execute project goals effectively. In this environment, our students learn to work with other people, figure out roles, and take responsibility. These are the practical hard and soft skills that simply are not taught in even the best private schools.
