This $150,000 School Promises Kids Will Make $1 Million… Or Your Tuition Back | Nat Eliason

Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel

What if high school wasn't about preparing students for a job—but teaching them how to build a business instead?

 

Rachel sits down with Nat Eliason, co-founder of Founders School, an innovative high school redefining what education can look like in the age of AI.

 

For $150,000 per year, students spend their mornings learning through AI-powered instruction and their afternoons building real businesses alongside experienced entrepreneurs. The boldest promise? If students don't generate $1 million in gross profit by graduation, Founders School refunds their tuition.

 

Rachel and Nat discuss:

 

Why Founders School has no traditional teachers

How AI is changing education

Why students spend most of their day building businesses

The admissions process and why families are turned away

The $1 million guarantee explained

Whether college is still necessary

What skills today's kids actually need to succeed

 

Whether you think it's the future of education or one of the boldest experiments ever attempted, this conversation will challenge the way you think about school, entrepreneurship, and preparing the next generation.
