I've some firsthand experience with Jesuit education and can confirm that was the most learning-positive environment I have ever been in it was the best school I attended, easil, in terms of pushing me to develop but also giving you room to range & grow towards your own interests.

What I am currently working on / trying to move forward is a way to link ADHD people in communities to hold each other accountable / collectively work on goals. For me, I struggle to do anything alone that I don't 'want' to do, but add another person doing it with me / holding me accountable, and that supercharges my throughput.

Which is to say - I think a key piece of this, where it scales to as many people as possible, is finding ways to make the framework adaptive to the needs of individual learners. Those lucky enough to be fully self-driven with no need for external aid - well, y'all won the lottery.

For me, the most interesting problem is hacking a solution to those of us who /want/ to learn, but have to fight our own brains every step of the way.

A Friend and religious historian pointed me to Christ's Churches Purely Reformed, which is an academic study of how Calvanism scaled its own culture. I was originally looking at it through a lens of spiritual communities, but I imagine the lessons are very similar. I have yet to read it, but it's on my list.
