“Real conversations I didn’t think we’d have for years.”
— Thomas, Father of One Son
This Isn't Just a Program. It's a Trajectory.
And today is the fork in the road.
What is ManSchool?
You're a busy dad, and you want to do this well.
You don’t have to be perfect though—just willing to show up.
ManSchool is designed to be doable, giving you the words, rhythms, and tools to guide your son from 13-18.

How It Works
1. Get your reminder
It's not just a keychain; it's an analogue reminder to keep showing up.
2. Connect with your son
It's not just a journal; it's a rhythm to build a connection that lasts.
3. Get the help you need
It's not just videos; it's step-by-step guidance when you need
it most.
Without a path, boys drift. Without a rhythm, dads quit. ManSchool gives you both.
Don’t just hope he becomes a man. Lead him with the ManSchool Map.
Year 1

What Dads Are Saying
About ManSchool
"Before ManSchool, I thought legacy was something you leave behind—not something you build now. This gave me simple, intentional ways to show up today as the dad I want to be. My son and I are having real conversations I didn’t think we’d have for years.”
Thomas - Father of One Son
Why Dads Stick With ManSchool
Most programs are too short to make a difference or too demanding to finish.
ManSchool is different:
✅ Built for Busy Dads — short videos, clear guidance, and rhythms that fit into your schedule.
✅ Centered on Lifelong Connection — ManSchool doesn’t just give you content; it helps you build the kind of bond that keeps the door open for honest conversations long after your ManSchool journey ends.
✅ Deep Guidance for Big Conversations — on-demand coaching helps you navigate the moments that matter most with wisdom, courage, and care.
✅ Clarity and Calling — your son won’t just learn what it means to be a man; he’ll be guided to discover the unique man God created him to become.
All for less than you'd spend on one weekend retreat.
The impact will last a lifetime.

Got Questions?
Every Good Dad Does.
How long does ManSchool last?
ManSchool is five years. It’s designed for dads or mentors to guide the boy in their life through the critical ages of 13-18, covering the five key aspects of manhood—Men are Warriors, Lovers, Workers, Monks, and Sages.
How much time will I need
to invest?
ManSchool is designed to be doable with your demanding schedule. At minimum, the digital coaching quickly prepares you to facilitate a weekly connection (10-15 minutes per week), a quarterly challenge (1-4 hours), and a yearly ceremony (a couple hours once a year). If you have more time and desire, you will receive additional resources to do more. However, the minimum is crafted to be life-changing for you and your son.
What if I’m not the man I want to be yet?
Jesus is the only perfect man. Your desire to grow makes you an ideal role model for your son. As you walk through ManSchool together, both of you will mature. By acknowledging your shortcomings as a man, you show him that becoming a man is a lifelong process. You don’t need to be perfect—just guide and bless his masculinity on his journey.
Are there discounts for churches?
Absolutely. We love partnering with churches to equip fathers and strengthen families. Because of this, we offer a significant discount to churches. Email us at info@manschool.co with subject line Church Discounts to receive your unique code.
Does it help to do ManSchool in a group?
Yes! Click below to learn how.
What’s included in the yearly purchase?
With each year's purchase, your son receives a custom journal to help him prepare for your weekly connection and grow in intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and relational maturity. You will get lifetime access to digital coaching to help you prepare for your weekly connections, create quarterly challenges, and plan a yearly ceremony to initiate and bless your son's masculinity.
What if my son is older than 13? Can I still do ManSchool with him?
Yes! ManSchool is designed with enough flexibility that you can start with year one and move through the content quicker to catch up to the year that matches your son's age.
Do I need to pay full price if I have multiple sons?
Nope. You’ll pay the full price per year for your first son, and then just $25 for each additional son—enough to cover the cost of the journal + shipping. We want this to be sustainable for families with multiple boys without compromising the experience. Some dads have even started getting an extra journal for themselves. You can purchase extra journals after purchasing the full year of ManSchool.
Can I purchase ManSchool for a dad and son in my life?
Absolutely. We’ll create a personalized gift code just for them. Email info@manschool.co with how many you'd like to purchase, and we’ll handle the rest.
