Letter from Founder
Dear Friend,
Here’s the thing: We know that college life ushers in a ton of stuff for your brain to absorb—you know the sort of that will make your life satisfying because you make over a six-figure income. Yet marriage and children eventually cross your plate and you discover a gnawing emptiness because you haven’t found or discovered inner peace.
What if there was another option? What if a program existed that would allow you time to mature and develop a sound worldview before you entered college? At Ventana we developed an amazing nine-month experience that will challenge recent high school graduates to engage with peoples, new ideas, and outrageous experiences that will prune and shape you for the years ahead.
Don’t enter the college experience with eyes bright in anticipation only to graduate with dilated pupils dimmed by the gibberish being taught these days. Enter college expecting to change the world simply because you now better understand it.
