What kind of work do you want to do? What even is consulting? We'll help you understand career paths that might fit for you - and introduce you to experts/professionals in industries you want
Your major isn't your career
Your major has no impact on your career. There are english majors who program at Google, engineers who teach, and computer scientists who do sales. Create your own unique path.
Learn from people like you
Join a tight knit community of 20 students like you – and get paired with mentors you admire. You'll be on video calls every week with your groups & mentors - forging real bonds.
100% Project based. Online. No lectures.
We know that projects are how real learning happens. You'll work on 8 projects over 4 weeks, all online so you can spend the holidays with family while still preparing for 2020.
The LifeSchool Process
Our programs are completely online, and 100% project-based.
We use Slack, Zoom, and Teachable to create an online learning environment that's even better than what you're used to in-person.

Hey! I'm Yash Tekriwal.
I'm a graduate of the University of Virginia, where I majored in Computer Science and Commerce.
--------------------------------------------------------
I built LifeSchool because it's the program I needed as a student. I felt lost in my career direction, had no clue what I was doing, and felt pressured into consulting with no clear reason as to why.

The problem with "regular" school is that it's built on a model of compliance, performance, and achievement.
Keep doing the "successful" thing and everything will work out. You'll find your passion, and life will be good.
The reality is that you would have better luck winning the lottery than you "finding" passion. Nobody can "teach" it to you either. You have to build passion.
Passion should come first, not last. Order matters.

Accessibility is at the core of everything we do.
Most career resources require you to shell out thousands of dollars – with no guarantee of success.
That's why we only charge $299 for tuition. We're committed to staying accessible to students.
Of course – we know that $299 can be a hefty amount for some folks. That's why we're proud to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need.
