The model
Australia’s finest private schools sell three things: a rigorous curriculum, teachers who know your child, and values you trust. iProject gives your child all three, without the classroom of twenty-five.
Your child brings a question they care about. We write a full 10-week curriculum around it, weaving maths, English, science and Scripture together, to the standard of a published course. Then it is rewritten every week as your child grows.
Live one-to-one sessions with Kale or a trained iProject educator he works alongside. Not a tutor working through a textbook, but an experienced educator who learns how your child thinks, stretches them where they are strong and supports them where they are not.
A biblical worldview runs through every week, not a chapel slot on Fridays. You approve the project before it begins, receive a written summary after every session, and can request any recording.
The investment, in context
Families who want the best for their child usually weigh three options. Here is how a full iProject year compares.
| Mid-tier independent school | Leading independent school | Full-time private tutor | iProject, a full 2027 year | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | A$30k to A$45kSydney, Year 12, 2026¹ | Up to ~A$52,000Year 12 tuition, 2026¹ | Up to US$270,000one 2026 listing² | A$11,000or A$275 a week |
| Curriculum written for | A year level | A year level | Your child | Your child, rewritten every week |
| Your child’s teacher | Shared with a class | Shared with a smaller class | Full-time, one to one | One to one every week with Kale or an iProject educator, with a guided project between sessions |
| Biblical worldview | Depends on the school | Depends on the school | Depends on the tutor | Woven through every week |
| Extras | Uniforms, camps, levies | Often A$3k to A$15k more¹ | Varies | Workbooks and resources included |
iProject is a mentored program, not a full-time school day: one or two live sessions a week, with a guided project your child works on between them. Many families make it the centre of their home education. The full-year figure is four custom projects with a weekly 1:1 session at our published rates. ¹ Compare Private Schools, 2026 Year 12 tuition for Sydney independent schools, excluding extras. ² Tutors International job listing for a full-time homeschool tutor, May 2026.

Inside a recent live session
His workbook page asked him to find the triangles and angles on a high-wing aircraft. So in the session we turned that page into a 3D plane he could spin, measure and test.
He worked out whether the strut pushes or pulls in flight, estimated angles and checked them, named the sides, then took the struts off to watch the wing bend. Then he explained, in his own words, why the triangle keeps it strong.

Your child’s mentor
Kale Kneale has spent more than 15 years in education, including as a housemaster at one of Australia’s top private schools and as a trainee principal at a Christian school. He holds a Master of International Education.
He saw what those schools do well, and what even the best of them cannot do: give each child a curriculum and a mentor of their own. iProject International is his answer. Today he mentors around 20 homeschooled students one to one every week, alongside a small team of trained iProject educators.
Kale and his family now live in North Carolina, and he continues to mentor Australian students every week, with sessions scheduled in Australian time.
Before education, he spent his twenties touring as a professional drummer. It is part of why he takes a child’s creative work seriously, and why Maya’s song got released.

A parent’s story · 1:37
Martene’s 13-year-old daughter is mentored one to one through iProject International. Her family has learned on the road, across Australia and overseas. Here’s what changed, in Martene’s own words.
Martene · iProject parent, Gold Coast, AustraliaWe’ve done distance education and homeschooling before, but this is different.
You get a weekly report, so you know exactly where they’re at.
So we can step out of the teacher role, and put more energy into quality time with the kids.
Hello, my name is Martene, and I’m from the Gold Coast, Australia. I just want to share our experience since putting our 13-year-old daughter in iProject International. She’s absolutely thriving. It’s re-engaged her, and she’s got a love for learning again.
We’ve done distance education and homeschooling before, but this is different. How she’s showing up, her excitement, how Kale is able to open her up and bring out her ideas and keep her accountable has just been so refreshing.
Kale caters it to what they want to learn. You get a weekly report, so you know exactly where they’re at, how they’re going, and just seeing the independence and the ownership.
She rang me yesterday. I’m currently away for work, and she’s learning Italian and she is so excited about that. She’s doing programs on nutrition that go along with her gym, so she actually wants to do it, and Kale is phenomenal.
We spent three years traveling Australia during COVID. And what it does is enable us, regardless of where we are and what’s happening, she’s still able to keep on track. And it’s taken the pressure off us, knowing that we have someone supporting her needs, what excites her and what she wants to learn about. So we can step out of the teacher role, focus and put more energy into that quality time and magic moment with the kids.
This is the best program that we’ve seen, if you’re looking for something that’s not conventional mainstream school. And so I 100% recommend.

In their words
Words from Australian families already learning with iProject International and The Transformation Network.
“We wanted someone we could trust to reflect our values in the way, what, and how they taught my son.”
JenniferThe Transformation Network parent“My boys absolutely love learning with iProject and admire and respect their teacher.”
BekiProject parent“Thank you, Brodie & Kale, for figuring out what’s important and for inspiring the kids to love learning so much! It really is how it should be.”
JeniProject parentA family’s story
Colt works alongside his dad from daylight, on a different job site each week. His iProject work fits in at lunch and in the evening. When we asked his mum, Ali, what had changed, this is what she wrote back.
Everyday photos of Colt, shared by his family.
Ali’s email to Kale
“We weren’t happy with the content being taught to our son at his state high school. He was also very unenthusiastic about school, and his grades were average. I saw a friend’s post about travelling and schooling and was intrigued as to how they managed it. Her children looked very happy. She set up a three-way chat with Kale, and we went from there.
My son goes to work travelling with his father during the week, starting at daylight and finishing at 5-ish. He completes his schooling at lunch for an hour, and the rest in the evening for as long as needed.
Finding appropriate learning environments at the ever-changing job sites has been challenging. However, having adaptable clients who are willing to provide appropriate environments has helped.
My son has become more self-assured and confident in himself. He has much more respect and enthusiasm with regards to teachers and schooling.
[The Transformation Network] provides a fabulous scaffold to help support and encourage self-doubting parents. We definitely fell into this category, and cannot recommend iProject International highly enough. I wish I had been able to offer this opportunity to my older children, as they would have thrived.
We genuinely do feel incredibly lucky to have found you.”

It can be either. Each project integrates maths, English, science and Scripture, so it can sit at the centre of your child’s learning. Some families pair it with other curriculum. We will talk through how it fits your child’s whole week in your consultation.
A private school gives your child a full school day in a class. iProject gives your child one or two live 1:1 sessions a week, and a curriculum written for them to work through between sessions. Families choose it when they want the personal attention and values a great private school promises, with their child learning at home.
Kale designs and oversees every iProject. Weekly 1:1 sessions are led by Kale or a trained iProject educator who works alongside him, and we will talk through who suits your child in your consultation.
Yes. iProject International began in Australia and is delivered by The Transformation Network, an Australian not-for-profit. Kale now lives in North Carolina and continues to mentor Australian students every week, with sessions scheduled in Australian time.
Students aged 8 to 17. Each project is pitched to your child’s level, and we look at readiness together in your consultation.
Every project includes a digital and printable workbook, a portfolio of real work, a parent guide and a home education registration pack to support your state’s requirements. You remain your child’s home educator and responsible for registration and reporting. As an independent program, we do not issue school reports or ATAR results.
Projects are priced weekly in AUD, and you can pay weekly, fortnightly, monthly or by term. We will confirm your plan and session rhythm together in your consultation.
Every educator is background-checked, and every session is recorded and kept on file. Parents can access any recording on request.
