The Youth Track (open to ages 13 onwards) empowers independent learners with hands-on projects and modules, integrating CBE and TIE to build leadership, cognitive skills, and self-directed competencies. This culminates in an MTC Learning Record that can be sent off to colleges and workplaces around the world.
What We Do
At the Youth Track, where we work closely with youths, a youth-at-risk1 will be under the care of a team of teachers, in small classes not larger than 6 to 8. He/she will be learning alongside homeschooling youths who are respectful about boundaries and serious in their studies.
The Youth Track accept students from the age of 13 and up. Each term opens with a selection of modules prepared by highly skilled educators that will ground you in academic foundations in language and logic, creative confidence, and work readiness. Select up to 3 modules (for popular modules, priority is given to graduating students). Apart from the present modules, you may build Personal Projects with your family and mentors outside of Little U, in line with your interests.
The Youth Track is designed to equip you to thrive in your generation’s economy. Four 21st-century competencies and 16 criteria have been carefully selected and crafted to develop a holistic portfolio transcript2 for your admissions to higher education and/or work. Many students that we have helped have found their voice and independent paths beyond Little U, even if they have not completed their course of study with us.
The full capacity for the Youth Track is 50 students. For 2026, we have space for up to 25 students.
Modules available for Term 1 2026
How much are the Youth Track fees?
$500/month/per student
Please note:
We collect a term’s fee at a time ($3000/term) that is renewable every 6 months. You may choose to leave the course anytime during the term if it does not fit, but there will be no refunds.
Our fees are kept low because of our non-profit agenda. We believe great education should be accessible to all. The $/m is pegged to a student’s ability to earn the amount working part-time on weekends. We are also mindful that your family may need to spend on other assistive services, e.g., educational therapist care for trauma-related learning activities, etc. As we develop towards a charity, we will seek funding to cover the full cost of our operations. (Do compare our fees with international schools, A/O level subject tutors, and special needs tutors for high schoolers.)
You will need to budget accordingly – there is no timeline for when you must complete the coursework. Some students will take less than 3 years. Some students will take more than 5 years. Our demographics learn best in a flexible system. We don’t enforce fixed hours of in-person attendance per week. We understand it will be difficult for some children and caregivers – chronic conditions may affect your ability to show up. We prefer to work at your learning pace.
You are not paying for a guaranteed spot in a higher institution (that’s bribery). Getting an open door to any institution via the MTC Learning Record is not an issue. Getting accepted, however, is based on the achievements of your portfolio, the admissions criteria of the degree, and other factors. For the Little U MTC Learning Record, we recommend earning 10-13 credits for poly level admissions and 14-16 credits for undergraduate admissions. Each credit takes a minimum of 4 months to 1 year to achieve an acceptable entry-to-industry or entry-to-academic standard.
You are not paying for a result slip of grades or numbers (that’s a diploma mill). You are paying for quality high-schooling experience to develop foundational mastery in important thinking and real life skills. What we offer is a formal coursework where students earn up to 16 credit-based modules. These modules are stacked towards a macro-credential accreditation – a full transcript (MTC Learning Record) akin to a high school diploma. It can be sent to any higher education institution – polytechnics, universities, or work around the world. It has been accepted at top universities like Princeton (USA), Yale (USA), Harvard (USA), Goldsmith (UK), RMIT (AU) etc.
