Est. 2019. Reborn from ashes: Jan. 2025.

In January 2025, two Ashland high school seniors lost their homes and schools in the Palisades Fires. We gave them space. They pulled in four friends.

Week after week, they showed up from across LA. No curriculum. Just exposed brick, a conference table, and their own will. “Zoom in a Room,” they called it. Online school became ritual.

From that came the new Ashland Prep: built on autonomy, not programming. No hand-holding. No hovering. Just trust that the right students rise.

So we made programs for students who want to beat the system: SAT sprints at sunset in Venice, online 1-1 prep from top minds in Southern California. All trained in-house to build student autonomy, not spoon feed.

Then, we made invite-only programs for those who want to build their own: founder-led entrepreneurship cohorts, the Room HQ.

With what’s possible now, anyone can build anything. We’re here to support what’s now, and what’s next.
