This looks like a wonderful initiative. I hope they succeed, I always have hope that we it is possible to offer some alternative to our mainstream education, which can be painful if you fall outside of the mainstream. As a side note it's also really lovely to read something uplifting here on HN. I am not asking to stop featuring PRISM stories etc., they are very important. But it seems easy to forget that there are bunches of smart curious people around who yearn to learn and to teach interesting things. Thank god for them :)
