Free programming school

In 2013, billionaire Xavier Niel and his several partners opened the first IT school “42 School” in Paris, and three years later, in 2016, he opened a branch in Silicon Valley, USA. Now School 42 has campuses all over the world, including Lyon, Johannesburg, Bulgaria, and Romania.

• Five principles that distinguish 42 School from any other university in the world:

1. Free education and free housing.
   You don't have to pay a dime to study here, and some campuses, like Freemond (Silicon Valley, USA) also provide you with free dorm space.

2. Without teachers.
   The entire learning process is computer-based, and there really are no professors or teachers.

3. Without teachers.

4. Without classrooms. The learning structure is not time-related –students don't come to lectures, and the school itself is open 24/7.

5.  No lectures.
   Practice, practice, and practice again! There are simply no theoretical lessons here – all the theory you have to find and learn yourself.

6. Peering learning.

At 42 School, you are responsible for your own success and the success of your classmates, help each other and evaluate the projects of other students.

• Employment requirements:

The main requirement – age 18 to 30.

No programming experience, no exams or diplomas required.

Consideration! 42 Silicon Valley School does not provide any visa documents for non-U.S. residents.
