What your child will gain at Prequel
A REAL WORLD
PROJECT
Your child won't pad a resume — they'll build something real. A startup, app, media brand, or research project with measurable outcomes: real users, real revenue, real recognition.
A World Class Network
Your child joins a community of the most ambitious, driven teenagers in the world — peers who push each other forward, not ones who coast.
Live Weekly Masterclasses
Every week, your child joins live sessions on AI, business strategy, and audience building — led by entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. Skills that schools don't teach, delivered in a format students actually engage with.
Personalized Coaching from Experts
Your child gets structured 1:1 coaching — not generic advice. Our coaches help them refine their idea, work through obstacles, and make real progress every sprint.
A Winning College Admissions Strategy
Your child works with our in-house college advisor to build a strategy around their project — not a list of clubs. Admissions readers at top schools read thousands of applications a year. A spiky, real-world project is what actually gets noticed.

Masterpiece Project
Conduct original research, collaborate with experts, and work toward publication or recognition.
your child's one year journey at Prequel
Foundations
In this high-intensity summer program, your child will develop, test, and refine a real-world project with expert mentorship and rapid execution. By the end, they'll have early traction — users, revenue, or views — and a clear roadmap. Foundations kicks off on June 10, with students transitioning to Prequel Scale in September.
Scale
Your child takes their project further — gaining traction, building an audience, and growing with structured coaching, live masterclasses, and a network of ambitious peers. Prequel Scale runs September through June.
Beyond
By invitation only. Prequel Beyond is for students who have built real traction and are ready for the next level — biweekly masterminds, a personalized roadmap, and continued college admissions support.
