From WNA to MIT
Through our collaboration with MIT, West Nottingham students don’t just intern – they lead.
Arjun, a Grade 11 student at West Nottingham Academy, worked under Dr. Manolis Kellis on advanced AI research. His work led to an extraordinary outcome:
He was selected to teach a 4-credit Artificial Intelligence course at MIT to undergraduate and graduate students.
This is what happens when high school students are given real access, real mentorship, and real opportunity.
Explore More Extraordinary Opportunities
Beyond the MIT collaboration, West Nottingham offers a variety of extraordinary opportunities for students, many of which are open to high school students at other schools. Explore all that we have to offer at Elevate Extraordinaire.
