We request a 2 month commitment to start. Here’s why:

We request a minimum 2-month commitment* to begin with so that our mentors can plan concrete milestones and establish goals to work towards. We have also seen that 8 hours is the minimum time commitment to see student outcomes and build a robust relationship with the mentor.

Our education team spends significant time upfront onboarding the mentor for each individualized engagement, collaborating with them to design a tailored learning plan and develop resources and curricula for their students, with the goal to build a lasting relationship.

Finally, many of our mentors are first-generation, low-income college students that rely on Curious Cardinals as their part-time job and source of income, so we ask for a 8 hour minimum to guarantee financial stability for our mentors from their Curious Cardinals engagements.

* You'll have a two week evaluation period where your student can meet with their mentor to ensure it's a good fit or request a new mentor before your commitment begins. Sessions during this period will be billed a la carte at $95 per hour.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What age range is this offering best suited for?

Mentors will adjust the course material to meet different age levels. We have different levels for this course for ages 9-11, 12-15, and 16-18.

Does my child need to have experience with this topic?

No! The course is designed and curated by mentors to be accessible to all levels of experience–including no experience at all.

Can I customize this course further?

Of course! Mentors will work with students to customize the course to their exact interests and ideas.

How adaptable is the course? Can my child take something similar to this that is not this exact syllabus?

Absolutely! Our mentors always adapt courses to best suit the goals and interests of their students. The syllabus is simply a jumping-off point!

Can students take this course together in a group or is it 1:1?

This is intended to be a private 1:1 guided exploration. However, if you have a friend or group of friends that you would like to take this with, please reach out to us and we will make it work!

How much of a role will the mentor play in the course?

The mentor will be a thought partner and guide for the student. The mentor will create slides to teach the student background knowledge and share videos, articles, podcasts, and other resources to introduce the student to new concepts. Like all student-driven Curious Cardinals courses, mentors will curate the course content to a student’s specific passions. The course will be honed to address each student’s unique interests and ideas.

Do I get to choose which mentor leads the course or is it set?

After giving us your preferences, students will be presented with a mentor we recommend as the best fit based on shared interests. If you do not like the mentor we recommend, students can “fire” their mentor and be introduced to a new one!

Can this course be extended? 

Yes! After the initial four lessons, mentors will guide students to dive deeper into a more niche topic area that they discovered through the current course.
