R-BIAL Prep Admissions:
Innovating Minds and Harmonizing Futures
Welcome to the Reed-Bennett Institute of Alternative Learning (R-BIAL), where we replace the factory model of education with a dynamic, student-driven ecosystem. If you are looking for a learning environment that values what you can do over what you have memorized, R-BIAL is the place for you.
Our Unique Model
No Grades, Only Mastery
R-BIAL is a self-paced, competency-based school designed specifically to prepare resilient thinkers for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
-
Self-Paced Progression: You move at your own speed, accelerating through competencies you master quickly and taking necessary time for deep understanding in challenging areas. Progress is based on mastery, not a fixed calendar.
-
Small In-Person Cohort, Deep Mentorship: Our 1:15 student-to-Learning Mentor ratio ensures you receive highly personalized guidance, coaching, and support throughout your entire learning journey.
-
The Narrative Transcript: We do not use traditional letter grades or a GPA. Instead, we compile a detailed Narrative Transcript and a Portfolio of your original Capstone Projects to demonstrate your real-world skills and competency mastery to colleges and employers.
