JACKSON, Wyo. — Radical Minds Academy (RadAcad), a coworking community for homeschool and online school kids, has partnered with AEON, the world’s leading online high school, to bring more schooling options to families in the valley.
AEON, known for its nationally recognized online curriculum, typically costs nearly $40,000 annually. However, when paired with Radical Minds Academy’s 10-month package — which includes two hours per week of one-on-one tutoring, supervised coworking space access from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days, mentorship and field trips — families pay a flat rate of $40,000. This effectively provides a $26,500 annual value for RadAcad’s offerings at no additional cost.
Online schools are more effective with support from a strong community like RadAcad, and online or homeschool students do their best with the world’s best online curriculum from AEON.
Garrett Austen, founder of Radical Minds Academy and Teton Tutors, said, “Our goal is to create a thriving community where online learners don’t just study at home but have access to mentorship, social connection and hands-on learning opportunities. This partnership with AEON allows us to offer families a comprehensive educational experience that combines the best of online schooling and in-person support.”
Parents have praised Radical Minds Academy for its supportive environment and expert guidance. One recent Google review states, “Homeschooling at Radical Minds Academy has been a game changer for our family. RadAcad has a team of tutors and space with other students, which provides my son a sense of order, community and accountability.” Another parent shared, “We recommend RadAcad for anyone considering home/online school or other non-traditional academic paths.”
Students also express enthusiasm. In a testimonial video, a student noted, “I feel like I have a lot more time to do what I love to do – ski. And I have a lot more time to just be myself.”
Radical Minds Academy offers a range of features designed to enrich the online schooling experience. These include a student coworking community that provides a structured and supervised space for learning, personalized one-on-one tutoring tailored to each student’s needs and mentorship programs that support both academic and personal growth. The academy also offers a scholarship program to assist families financially, engaging Friday field trips to foster hands-on learning and social connection, and opportunities for personal projects that encourage creativity and independent study. Additionally, Radical Minds Academy ensures educational continuity throughout the school year and a blog sharing insights, tips and news from the community.
Families interested in learning more can attend an info session on Tuesday, May 6, from 7 to 8 p.m. at 180 Center Street #1, Radical Minds Academy’s temporary location. The event will feature presentations from an AEON representative and Garrett Austen, founder of Radical Minds Academy and Teton Tutors. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
