01 · Pricing · The barbell strategy
Priced against the schools
families actually compare.
MindMade's value is comparable to enrollment at an elite AI-first school: institutions
operating in the $30,000–$60,000 per year range. In a parent's consideration set, MindMade
is positioned as the best-value option among the alternatives they are actually weighing,
rather than the cheapest option on the list.
02 · Three tracks, one system

Propose a pilot 03 · Pricing philosophy
Founders Rate The founding cohort locks its price for life.
Phase 0 families are offered a Founders Rate: locked pricing for life, in exchange
for high-quality feedback and public testimonial rights. You help us build the
school; the school never raises your tuition.
Scholarships Five percent of every cohort attends on merit alone.
A scholarship program funded by a fixed share of Sovereign Track revenue provides
full Access Track membership to 5% of the enrolled cohort, selected by application.
The program serves as a talent identification pipeline. The most
intellectually exceptional students, regardless of income, strengthen the peer
network and the Ascent ecosystem for everyone.
