Sorry I didn't see your comment until now.

Right, it is intended to be a for-profit business, not really interested in tackling better education for everyone.

Long term I think a great case will be made for taking some % of students that couldn't afford it, just based on their accomplishments/skills to date.

Rich parents send their under-14 yr olds to a summer camp (just for fun & MAYBE some sports lessons) and pay 10k+. For a program proven to boost their kids' chance of success, I think they'd be willing to pay even more than that.
