The Ravensby Story

Bridging the Future Skills Gap

The world teenagers are heading into is changing fast. While universities increasingly demand AI literacy and employers seek strategic thinkers and AI orchestrators, 96% of secondary school students emerge with no meaningful preparation for the AI-enhanced economy they are entering.

Ravensby Institute exists to solve this critical gap. We don't just teach AI tools - we develop AI leaders. Our intensive programmes create the competitive advantages that distinguish exceptional students from their peers: strategic thinking, technological fluency, entrepreneurial capability, and the confidence and tools to build the careers they want rather than accept what they're offered.

Founded by MIT-qualified human capital economist, AI platform founder, and AI advisor Mackenzie Howe, Ravensby combines world-class educational methodology with small-cohort intimacy. Every programme aligns with international frameworks (OECD, UNESCO, IEEE) while delivering immediately practical capabilities.

 

Students don't just graduate with certificates - they emerge with functioning businesses, professional networks, and the strategic advantages that compound throughout their lives.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it. Your teenager shouldn't just survive the AI revolution - they should lead it.

Master the Future

Mackenzie brings the rigor of elite sport, the intellectual framework of advanced economics, and the practical experience of serial entrepreneurship to teen education.

 

Most importantly, she brings the urgency of a mother who wants every ambitious teenager to have the competitive advantages her own children will possess.

 

Personal Mission: Ensuring no brilliant teenager gets left behind by the AI revolution - instead, they lead it.

Real Skills for Tomorrow's World

While traditional education focuses on memorizing yesterday's information, Ravensby develops the capabilities that will define career success for the next 30 years. Your teenager masters AI as a strategic partner, not just another app - positioning them among the global elite who will lead the AI-enhanced economy.

Elite Cohort Experience

Maximum 8-12 students per programme means your teenager joins an exclusive community of high-achievers. These aren't struggling students getting remedial help - these are future leaders developing advanced capabilities together. The peer network alone becomes invaluable throughout university and career.

Future-Proof Career Enhancement

By 2030, 85% of jobs will require AI collaboration skills. By 2035, strategic AI thinking will separate leaders from followers in every industry. Your teenager won't just survive this transformation - they'll lead it, command premium salaries for it, and build their career advantage on it.

Investment that Pays Lifelong Returns

The Mathematics: Our graduates typically secure university placements worth £40,000+ more in lifetime earnings. Starting salaries for AI-literate graduates average £8,000-£18,000 higher than their peers. One client promotion or university acceptance pays for the entire programme investment - everything after that is pure advantage.

Globally Recognised Excellence

Our certifications align with the world's most prestigious educational frameworks: OECD Future Skills (recognized by top universities globally), UNESCO AI Ethics (the gold standard for responsible AI education), and IEEE Innovation Standards (the benchmark for technology leadership). These credentials open doors at Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, and beyond.
