Venture Upward’s Virtual Tracks are semester-long, mentor-led experiences that combine elite guidance, hands-on resources, and deep personal exploration. These aren’t just courses, they are transformational journeys designed to shape future leaders, creators, and world-changers.
Each track is led by exceptional professionals and educators who guide small cohorts of students through weekly live sessions, personalized mentorship, and project-based learning. Students receive curated toolkits shipped to their homes and are immersed in experiences that foster growth, purpose, and confidence. This is truly the kind of learning every parent dreams of giving their child. Each track is led by experts and designed to spark confidence, build real skills, and help students uncover their potential.
Whether your child is discovering their calling, building leadership skills, or publishing their first book, this is the kind of education that changes lives.
Grades 4–12 (Grouped by Age & Level)
This inspiring track helps students plan, write, and prepare a polished book or short story for publication, guided by experienced mentors, including a published author. Students will learn story structure, revision strategies, and publishing basics, and they’ll also meet with guest authors, illustrators, and editors to gain insight into the writing world.
Each student will be supported based on their age and experience level, with younger writers working toward short stories and older or more advanced writers completing full-length manuscripts.
This track will include:
- Weekly writing workshops
- Guest sessions with publishing professionals
- Personalized feedback throughout the process
- A mailed Writing Toolkit (journals, planning guides, and creative tools)
Outcome: A completed and polished short story or book, ready to be published and proudly shared.
