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.
Live today
Three axioms run the whole school — curiosity, critical thinking, application. Every Unit ends in something real you publish. Real OSSD credits. Founding Class applications open.
- Curiosity, Critical Thinking, Application — the three axioms behind every Unit
- Three-layer assessment: build it, defend it, critique mediocre work
- AI required, not banned — every assignment is built to be uncheatable
- Grade 11 English (ENG3U)
- Grade 12 English (ENG4U)
- Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U)
- Grade 10 Canadian History (CHC2D)
- Gilbert — your AI coach, available 24/7
- Interactive lessons that beat sitting through a textbook
- Mastery grading — your grade reflects what you know now, not your worst day
- Spaced repetition so what you learn actually sticks
- A real portfolio attached to every credit you earn
- Official Ontario OSSD credits through our accredited partner school
- Founding Class applications + scholarships
- Cohort community — peers, Discord, shared progress
- Paths for builders, homeschoolers, credit recovery, college prep, and more
- Units Starter — $100/year platform access with a 3-day free trial
- Units Fellowship — $600/month, mentored by a YC founder, stackable with high school co-op
What's next
More subjects, faster credit options, and tools that make Units fit into your school day — not replace it.

Going physical
Units becomes a fully registered Ontario private school and opens our first physical campus. The flagship cohort starts in person.
- Registered as an Ontario private school
- First Units physical campus opens — Austin, Texas
- Founding physical cohort — 15-25 students learning side by side
- Pursuing our own US accreditation through Cognia
- Daniel — our founder — graduates as Units Student #1, publicly, on camera
- US transcript option for students applying to American universities
The Units Standard
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 alternative that's so good you won't have a reason to choose public school. If you have ideas, feedback, or want to get involved — we'd love to hear from you.
