About 42 School

School 42 is a global network of free and innovative coding schools, founded in 2013 by Xavier Niel in Paris, France. The institution is known for its disruptive approach to technology education, emphasizing a model without traditional teachers or classes. Instead, it uses a methodology based on self-directed learning, peer-to-peer learning, and practical projects that simulate real-world challenges.

Key Features of School 42:

1. Free and Accessible:

There are no tuition fees. The only requirement is the student's commitment to learning.

The system fosters interpersonal skills, teamwork, and autonomy.

4. The Piscine (Pool):

The selection process is known as "Piscine" (or The Pool), an intensive 26 to 30-day period where candidates are given a series of practical challenges. It's an immersive experience that tests technical skills, resilience, and the ability to learn under pressure.

Campuses are equipped with computers, collaborative areas, and environments designed to stimulate creativity.
