About
A clearer way to find what is out there
BeyondClass collects extracurricular opportunities for high school students in one reviewed, searchable place, and keeps it free.
Why we exist
Opportunities are real, but hard to find
Conferences, competitions, courses and placements are announced in scattered places, on different timelines, with different eligibility rules. Students who already know where to look have an advantage. BeyondClass flattens that: one directory, one search, one place to keep track.
How we work
Free, with no catch
Every listing, filter, saved shortlist and guide is free. There are no premium tiers, no paid placements and no fees.
Reviewed before listing
Each opportunity is checked for legitimacy, a current deadline and relevance to high-school students before it appears.
Built for students, not rankings
The directory is organised by what you want to do, not by prestige. A local volunteering placement sits beside an international conference.
Who it is for
High school students, and the people supporting them
The directory is curated for students in Grades 8 to 12, including some listings open to undergraduates. Parents, teachers and counselors use the same directory to point students at opportunities that fit their interests.
