WILD + BOLD

10 acres, a quest board, and nobody telling you which one to take.

10 acres, and things to get properly good at. School lets out; you come here. Homework first, with someone who can actually help. Then outside, to build, grow, or start something of your own.

Get good enough at it and we put you on payroll.

Some people come because school is going fine and they want more. Some come because it is not going fine at all. Both are normal here.

The board

The loop

You check the board. You take a quest. You do the thing, with people who are also doing things. Somebody signs it. It goes on your record, and your record is the only one that matters here.

What it costs
$384 a month, four afternoons a week

That is everything: four afternoons a week, both teachers, the help with schoolwork, the garden and the run of the land. Guild membership is included in it, not added to it. Fewer days costs less, there is a sliding scale if that is too much, and paying for the whole term takes 15 percent off.

Things to get properly good at

You have the run of all of them; nobody has to be good at all of them. What you work on is your call, and the board tells you what is going today.
