The first operating model of Basecamp Collective
An established education business, a founder-led school, and shared wellness, discovery, and entrepreneurship spaces—working together in 5,000–10,000 square feet.
Basecamp Lite turns the larger Living Learning City into a credible first location: intimate enough to open now, complete enough to demonstrate the ecosystem, and flexible enough to expand.
The landscape still does the connecting. Large doors, a covered terrace, a discovery garden, and movement space make the outdoors part of every day—not an amenity added later.
Accredited academic engine
Accredited, personalized learning that converts projects, experiences, entrepreneurship, and real-world work into rigorous academic pathways.
Founder-led school
A highly personal K–12 school experience where learners are known deeply, families have a trusted guide, and strengths shape the path forward.
FULL PROTOTYPE
The complete compact ecosystem: two anchor tenants, five shared studios, a parent/client lounge, and a strong indoor–outdoor commons.
Planning concept only. Final capacity and use depend on site, code, licensing, scheduling, and local requirements.
Daytime enrollment establishes consistent demand. After-school, evening, weekend, and seasonal uses extend revenue across the same footprint.
Full academic, hybrid, and personalized learning enrollment through Out of Box Learning and The Emily School.

OUTDOOR SPACE IS PROGRAM SPACE
A modest side yard or courtyard can carry discovery, wellness, movement, community gathering, student enterprise, and everyday moments of belonging.
Basecamp Lite is designed to validate demand, operations, unit economics, partnerships, and outcomes before committing to the full campus.
Education businesses bring students, families, services, and earned revenue from day one.
Adaptive reuse and shared spaces concentrate the vision without requiring a multi-acre build first.
Multiple dayparts and customer groups reduce dependence on one program or tuition stream.
The first location becomes the operating model, story, data set, and launchpad for future Basecamps.
