A16z is challenging Silicon Valley’s love for drop-outs by launching a school

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is launching a school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy aimed at aspiring founders who have just graduated high school and have not yet attended college.

The academy is aiming to train these high school grads with hands-on coursework on a variety of topics ranging from the technical (such as “AI Research and Models”) to life philosophy (such as “The Geometry of Luck,” which promises to teach students “about arranging a life so good fortune flows through it.”) Students will also work on personal projects. The school’s main pitch is that it promises to provide students with mentors who are big names in tech.
