Beyond 8 is a learner-designed alternative to high school. We guide teenagers to college on accredited Cambridge and NIOS pathways combined with mentoring, internships, and projects.
Ambitious, self-driven learners who want to pursue passions while preparing for university. Supported by families who value independence, creativity, and confidence.
In most schools, adults take primary responsibility for a child’s learning by designing the structure, setting the pace, and directing the work. At Beyond 8, learners gradually learn to take responsibility for their own work and choices. Mentors provide the structure, guidance, and accountability needed to do this well, through close 1:1 support, personalised timetables, and regular reflection. This shift helps learners move from compliance to ownership, while still being held to high academic and personal standards
