It all began on a call with a student who had nothing to say.

It all began in a small studio nestled in the heart of New York

We were mid-session when I asked him to just think out loud — no ChatGPT, no prompts from me. Just him and his own mind.


He stared back. Silence. Not the nervous kind. The kind that comes from never having had to think for himself. He wasn't stuck. He was waiting. Waiting for someone to tell him what to think next.


That moment changed everything. A26 was built for that student — and every student like him.

We work with middle school and high school families navigating an education system that wasn't built to explain itself. We know the pressure. We know the expectations. And we know how easy it is for students to become passengers in their own education.


A26 exists to change that — guiding families through Canadian and US high schools and universities, not focused on feeding students answers, but by helping them become students who can find their own.


Empower. Ignite. Transform. In that order, for a reason.

Critical thinking and creative thought is at the heart of everything we do. It's not about manufacturing narratives, it's about connecting the dots – to bring text to life in ways that ignite impact and drive change.

Our Reach

Since opening our doors, we've worked with families across the world. From first-generation students navigating a system their parents never went through, to high-achievers who've lost the plot somewhere between grades and goals. Every family is different. The starting point is always the same: figuring out where the student actually is, and building from there.

We've worked with students who top their class and students who are barely holding on — and both can end up in the same place: waiting for someone else to tell them what to do next.
