PIONEER

Pioneer

“I ship work for the world to see”

In year one they build a professional’s foundations (tools, data, machine learning, networks); in year two, on to LLMs and AI agents. They graduate with an English engineering portfolio anyone can see — and the confidence to present and defend it themselves.

What they learn

What they learn

In this stage, children pick up these strengths with their hands.

Developer tools

Manage code with GitHub like a real developer.

Data science

Read the truth beyond the numbers with data.

Machine learning & LLMs

Build their own AI and dig into how language models like ChatGPT work.

AI agents & portfolio

Build code that runs on its own, and ship a graduation project.

The Curriculum

Eight terms, deepening step by step

Each term is 11 weeks — it ends in one finished project, and in the final week children present what they made at an English Demo Day.

Their portfolio

English at this stage

English at this stage

The class runs entirely in English. All presentations and discussions are in English, and children explain their projects and field questions in English — young engineers who work in English, with presentation confidence that shines in school assessments and interviews.

How we handle AI

How we handle AI

Now they use AI “critically” — but with a rule: “read it yourself, explain it line by line, and it only ships once it passes the tests.” AI may help with parts, but handing it a whole assignment is not allowed. Every project keeps an “AI-use log.” (Accounts are used only for ages 13+ and with a guardian’s consent.)

What they walk away with

What they walk away with

A public-ready English engineering portfolio, a GitHub profile, an AI-agent project, and a graduation portfolio book.
