The Process
Accelerated Academics
Traditional schooling is painfully slow for smart students!
For each student, I create a custom-tailored Accelerated Learning Plan that outlines the exact steps and sequence to complete all high school graduation requirements, as well as the college preparatory courses necessary to be an outstanding applicant at a top-tier engineering college.
Executing this plan frees your student from traditional school limitations of mandatory time and place, allowing them to learn more and have additional free time for high-leverage projects that will make a real difference in their college and career!
Challenging Projects
Colleges are more competitive than ever! Having a 4.0 GPA and a 1600 SAT means nothing!
To be an outstanding applicant to a top-tier engineering college, you need to demonstrate grit and determination by working hard on challenging projects that show you have what it takes to be a successful future engineer. A bunch of superficial extracurricular activities is a losing strategy!
As a professional rocket scientist, I will personally mentor and coach your student to select and execute on a challenging engineering project that will actually get them noticed!

The Four Pillars of the Program
1
Vision & Map
To go fast, you have to know:
1️⃣ Exactly where you are
2️⃣ Where you are going
3️⃣ The plan to get there
I do a comprehensive assessment of your student and their strengths and weakness. Then I create a detailed, Custom Accelerated Learning Plan, to help them hit every one of their academic and project goals.
2
Will & Motivation
Being an aspiring engineering student is not easy! Increasing their motivation and resiliency is part of the solution.
I have created my Reverse Engineer Your Life Tool that helps cultivate that unending motivation and discipline to build their ideal life and future career.
This tool , along with others, helps keep your student focused, on task, and progressing towards college (by themselves!)
3
Skills & Tactics
There is an art and science to being an autodidact (self-learner) and a young engineer. Don't waste time attempting to learn these unique skills on your own!
I will mentor your student and teach them the high-leverage and foundational skills and habits they need to supercharge their learning and career progression.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I'm Russ!
I'm deeply passionate about alternative education and helping cultivate the next generation of rock-star engineers!
Before pivoting to education, I had over 13 years of experience working as a professional aerospace engineer and rocket scientist. I attribute my professional success to the autodidactic (self-learner) skills I was fortunate to learn at a very young age.
I've done some cool things such as:
Built Lots of Robots
Graduated High School at 16-years old
Graduated from Caltech
Worked at Elon Musk's SpaceX
Designed Hybrid-Electric Airplanes
Instrument Rated Private Pilot
Published a Book on Rocket Science

Does this sound familiar?
Your Kid is Bored with School? Your kid is likely bored because the material is not engaging or is too slow. A switch to a more engaging self-paced curriculum will help capture their attention and allow them to zip through the material at their own pace. They won't be limited by their teachers, classmates, or the fixed academic calendar. Their only limit will be their own ability to absorb and apply the material. You will be surprised by how much this switch can boost your kid's morale.
Your School Not Helping? Schools are not designed to help your kid. If your child is smart or gifted, your special requests are a huge pain to deal with! The school board and teachers' union do not want people to be unique; they want them to be obedient and quiet! At Newman Academy, we create a customized accelerated learning plan for each individual student that precisely meets their needs, enabling them to reach their full potential. We want your kid to be exceptional, not average!
Confused About How to Get Into College? It is no secret that elite colleges are very competitive. The trick is not to play the game the way others are playing. Go for DEPTH over BREADTH. Superficial resume padding is easily seen through. But working on challenging engineering projects is impossible to fake. At Newman Academy, our mentors can help you child identify and execute on challenging engineering projects that will get your kid noticed. Additionally, our ultra-flexible academic calendar allows your child to secure valuable industry internships, a benefit that few other kids can take advantage of.
Don't worry, I can help!
