42 Schools is a free school supported by a french billionaire. They had a physical campus in Silicon Valley, across the bridge from FB's HQ, that also had free housing. Needless to say it was swamped with people from all over that wanted free school and free housing and had very little operational support. It shut down after COVID :( It's actually all self-paced content with their proprietary, gamification-based platform that you had to do in person on their provided computers, and you could would work through with other students. It's a pretty unique approach. After being unsuccessful int he USA, they focused on international as their other campuses had more success, and it's been chugging a long around the world. This subreddit focused on USA-based programs.
