Real Education Reborn
Dr. Julian is a former professor — the kind who was adored by students and considered a problem by soulless administrations.
So he connected with some families who were looking for something real for their teenagers, and ETI was born.
ETI is an AP-aligned academy designed to offer deep, real, initiatory education while also offering the highly prestigious AP Capstone Diploma as issued by the US College Board.
ETI works both with students online and on-site: contact us for details.
We believe that education should be the actualization of human potential and the liberation of mind and soul. Our students agree, so let’s hear from them directly:
Student Experiences
Liz
Liz recounts the process of discovering her own voice, growing her confidence in public speaking and academics, and working with Dr. Julian in a journey from high school to becoming a scholarship student at UC Berkeley.
Huy
Huy tells of meeting Dr. Julian in a university classroom in Vietnam and discovering a kind of education that he had never seen before. He reports on how this experience transformed his thinking, his confidence, and his self-expression.
Sivani
Sivani shares about working with Dr. Julian and how it deviated from her idea of "teachers." She describes how what she found was not "teaching" but mentorship and questioning that encouraged her to go deep into her own process, to develop her own ideas, and to grow as her own person.
Our Offerings
We support young teens and tweens in falling in love with reading and writing. We use genre fiction and creative writing to build fundamental skills in organization, complex thought, creative rigor, and ELA.
An intrinsic enjoyment of good stories is a exceptional foundation of academic success.
We don’t think that good education should amount to a preparation for soulless survival inside an incoherent machine.
Education, in our view, is the awakening of true knowledge of oneself and the world — and a preparation for meaningful and creative participation in reality itself.
We prepare our students for success, yes. But more fundamentally, we prepare them for consciousness in a world that’s still waking up.
AP Exam Prep (College-Facing)
ETI is an authorized AP Capstone Diploma program including several subject-area AP courses for our college-preparatory teens.
We have years of experience working creatively with AP curricular development and supporting student success on the AP Exams.
