Units

Where we're going

This is a living document. It changes as we learn and ship. Here's where Units is today, what we're building next, and the long-term vision.

The Units Standard

2027 and beyond

Units becomes a credential that opens doors on its own — not because a government inspected us, but because the outcomes speak for themselves. A school for the post-AGI generation.

Full US accreditation through Cognia
Our own Ontario inspected school status — issuing credits directly
Recognized by the University of California a-g and Canadian university admissions
Eligible for state voucher and ESA programs in Texas and Florida
NCAA-approved courses for student athletes
A network of employers and universities that recognize Units grads on the strength of their portfolio
Real co-ops, mentorships, and internships built into the curriculum
Physical campuses in New York and Toronto
An adaptive learning engine that knows you better than any teacher could
Over 20 courses across Ontario, US, and international curricula
International cohorts — for homeschool families, world-schoolers, and builders anywhere

We're not building another online school.

We're building the thing that makes traditional school optional. If you have ideas, feedback, or want to get involved — we'd love to hear from you.
