Start A School With Friends

I recently ran across this post (shared by someone on HackerNews) about starting a school (or university as they sometimes refer to it) with friends, and it’s stuck in my mind as a great idea. I’ve always enjoyed teaching things on a small, casual level, and I’ve thought for a long time about the possibility of teaching in a more formal scenario. FractalU is still pretty casual compared to nationally accredited, endowment-backed universities, but the framework they’ve set up gives it a measure of formality – a nice middle ground, I think.
