The Network School is particularly aimed at "dark talent" cohorts—individuals with exceptional skills or perspectives that often fall outside traditional educational and professional molds. These include creative individuals, physical fitness enthusiasts, tech innovators, and media mavericks who bring a diverse array of skills to the educational environment.

mandatory gym too!
- These people aren't real nerds.
