This Is Not An Application. It Is Your First Quest
We measure potential not by transcripts, but by character, curiosity, and courage.
Why Our Process is Different
A traditional application shows us where you've been. We want to see where you have the potential to go.
A test score cannot show us how you handle failure. A list of clubs cannot show us what truly ignites your passion. Our process is designed to look past the surface and find the real you. We are searching for initiates who possess not just intellect, but grit; not just talent, but tenacity; not just ambition, but a deep desire to contribute to a team.
The Rules of the Arena
Regarding your application, the rules are simple: there are no rules.
​
Your academic transcript tells us what you have learned; we are interested in how you think. Your mission is not to tell the best story, but to tell your story in the most authentic way possible.
We are living through a great reshaping of the world, a time when new tools are being forged that give unprecedented power to those who are bold enough to wield them. Artificial intelligence is not a shortcut to be feared; it is a fundamental weapon in the modern arsenal. We not only allow its use in your application; we expect it.
Show us you are resourceful. Show us you know how to fight with every tool available.
​
The first generation of this new era will begin with 24.
They will not be the 24 with the best grades. They will be the 24 with the most grit, the most curiosity, and the most undeniable fire.
Show us that fire.
Your Journey Begins Here
Your Mission Briefing
Welcome to your First Trial. This quest is designed in four stages. Completing them will test your creativity, your character, and your commitment.
Admissions Timeline
-
January 1, 2026: The First Trial officially begins.
-
March 15, 2026: Deadline for completing all stages of the Trial.
-
April 28, 2026: Shortlisted candidates are invited for a virtual "Council Interview."
-
June 1, 2026: The 24 members of the "Genesis Cohort" are chosen and notified.
Stage 1: Forge Your Argonaut Identity
Your first task is to create a new, public Instagram profile. This will serve as your digital portfolio for the duration of the trial.
​
-
Your Username: Must be in the format: [Name_from_History/Myth]_[4-Digit_Number]. (e.g., Daedalus_2026, Icarus_0370). Choose an identity that resonates with you.
-
Your Bio: Must include the hashtag #OlympusGenesis and a link back to our official account, @TheOlympusQuest.
Stage 2: Declare Your Intent
Once your profile is created, you must formally register as a candidate. Go to our inquiry form and submit your new Instagram handle. This officially places you on the list of initiates undertaking the trial.
Stage 3: Present Your Three Artifacts
As three separate posts on your new profile, you will present the artifacts of your life. For each, post a single, clear image and use the caption to tell its story.
-
The Artifact of Creation: An object you built, a piece of art you made, a line of code you wrote. Tag @TheOlympusQuest and use the hashtag #ArtifactOfCreation.
-
The Artifact of a Scar: An object representing a noble failure or a significant struggle. Tag @TheOlympusQuest and use the hashtag #ArtifactOfResilience.
-
The Artifact of the Phalanx: An object that symbolizes your most important team. Tag @TheOlympusQuest and use the hashtag #ArtifactOfSynergy.
Stage 4: Answer the Oracle's Riddle
Your final trial is to post a 3-minute video to your profile answering the Oracle's Riddle:
​
In three minutes, teach us something.
​
The subject doesn't matter. Your passion and clarity do. Use the caption "My answer to the #OracleRiddle" and tag @TheOlympusQuest.
Stage 5: Forge Your Sigil
Your final trial is to create your own personal Sigil—a badge, icon, or symbol that represents you. This is the culmination of your self-reflection. It is the emblem of the Olympian you aspire to be.
​
-
Design your Sigil using any medium you choose (digital drawing, AI art, a photograph of a physical object).
-
Make this Sigil your new Instagram profile picture.
-
Create a final, fifth post showcasing your Sigil. In the caption, explain its meaning in a few sentences. Tag @TheOlympusQuest and use the hashtag #MyOlympusSigil.
Stage 6: Certify Your Quest
This is the ultimate, most important step. After you have made all four posts on your Instagram profile, you must return to our website and complete the "Quest Certification" form.
Once your trials are complete, the Olympus Council will begin its review. The path to Olympus is a difficult one. We do not expect this to be easy.
A Note to Parents & Guardians
This journey requires trust. In return, we promise an outcome no traditional school can offer. The "Olympus Advantage" is not just a path to a top university; it is a fundamental transformation in capability. This process is designed to identify students who will thrive in a high-responsibility, self-driven environment. We value grit over grades, and passion over pedigree.
