High School Essentials
in an AI World
“AI is very likely to overturn most of our apple carts.
Two pieces of general advice with AI in the world:
get better mentors and work every day
at improving the quality of your peer network."
TYLER COWEN,
Holbert L. Harris Chair of Economics at George Mason University
AI is rapidly rewriting the education and economic landscape, threatening to replace more people and disrupt secure careers and predictable futures.
The world can change overnight. So you need to be prepared.

TESTIMONIALS
“I struggled with hearing my own voice as a young woman, but The Writing College helped me find it. Alex would often say things like: This is good but general, anyone could write this argument, especially AI! She helped me develop my distinct writing personality and identify who I am as a person. Now, what I say and write stands out in class and among my peers.”
- Kylie, HS Sophomore
“The Writing College not only taught me how to write, it taught me how to think about who I am in the world. I learned to see people and situations around me using writing and editing as life skills. The 1-1 mentorship was a complete transformation in which I grew into a published writer who’s capable of conveying my message to my readers. I want to show my endless appreciation to Alex, who taught me to find my true, most confident self in language.”
- Julie, HS Senior
