Choose Your Learning Path
StartSchool is a comprehensive 12-month, full-time technical product-building program designed for both experienced professionals and those just starting their careers.
The StartSchool curriculum consists of Tech and Startup modules, which together form our main offering—the Founder Path—combining technical expertise with hands-on startup and product-building experience.*
Within the Tech module, students can choose between two core tracks—Full-Stack Development and Machine Learning**—each offering multiple specializations. These tracks are designed to prepare the next generation of developers, AI engineers, and tech innovators through intensive, hands-on projects using industry-standard tools.
* It is also possible to choose the Tech Path for those seeking to focus exclusively on development skills.
** We recommend the Machine Learning program for students with at least some prior programming experience.
