Praxeo Polymath
School
"Where the ancient art of mastery meets the audacity of youth — forging founders of light, virtue, and world-shaping enterprise."
A School Unlike Any Other
Praxeo Polymath is not a school in the ordinary sense. It is an invitation-only incubator-accelerator for the most promising young founders in high school — a sacred workshop where intellectual brilliance, moral depth, and entrepreneurial daring converge.
There is no tuition. Admission is by invitation alone. Revenue flows not from families but from the startup companies co-founded by our uniquely gifted students, mentored by seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe the next generation of builders should be forged in virtue as much as venture.
Built on the revolutionary active-learning DNA of Minerva University, Praxeo unites spiritual formation rooted in Judeo-Christian tradition, Socratic intellectual rigor, advanced arts and music, and cutting-edge science and technology into a single, mastery-oriented pedagogy — producing not mere graduates, but practitioners and masters of the interdisciplinary arts.
Mastery Across All Domains
Praxeo's pedagogy unifies five domains of mastery — each essential, none sufficient alone. Together they form the complete practitioner.
More Than Intellect
Academic brilliance alone does not earn an invitation. Praxeo seeks the rarest combination — young people whose character matches their cognition, whose hearts are as developed as their minds.
Prof. Leland Yi
Founder & Headmaster
Prof. Leland Yi is a Columbia University graduate (B.A., M.I.A.) whose doctoral-level training was conducted under world-class social science theorists and methodologists, including Robert Jervis, among others. An award-winning professor of business and marketing — recognized for inventions, creative solutions, and startup ventures — Prof. Yi brings an extraordinary depth of both scholarly rigor and entrepreneurial instinct to Praxeo.
From 2021 to 2024, he initiated, led, and onboarded what became the world's most successful Minerva Baccalaureate school. Praxeo Polymath is his second Minerva Baccalaureate institution — built from scratch to realize a vision never before attempted: a smart high school carrying the same revolutionary DNA as Minerva University's approach to active learning and real-world mastery.
Seekers of Divine Wisdom
Praxeo draws upon the authentic tradition of the God-fearing alchemical philosophers — those who understood the lapis philosophorum not as mere transmutation of base metals, but as the transformation of the human soul toward light, virtue, and sacred purpose.
