Crafting Spaces of Deep Learning
ETI is an effort to restore the soul of education.
We believe in rigorous education. We believe in creative education. We believe in empowering education. We believe in real education.
We believe in human potential.
Educational outcomes are human outcomes. Educational methods must be humane.
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.
Our 11th-12th grade program prepares older teens for both university and the real world.
We take this very seriously, not simply as book-learning but as an initiation into human history, culture, leadership, and the future.
Many programs use these buzzwords. They are not buzzwords for us. We accept only students whose families are ready for a real journey into the human condition: past, present, and future.
AP Exam Prep (College-Facing)
ETI is currently applying for authorization to offer the AP Capstone Diploma as well as several subject-area AP courses for our college-preparatory teens.
Our educators have years of experience working creatively with AP curricular development and supporting student success on the AP Exams.
