I always brainstorm names via available domain names, so here are a
few building on others... one way to stand out might be to move away
from traditional terms like Academy or Institute (depending on the age
of your target audience) and towards a more flexible term...
neverstop.school
lifelonglearning.today
foreverlearning.center
my.academy ($6k)
our.academy
IncludeME.academy
LearningForYou.org
unschool.school
inclusivelearning.life
foreverlearning.club
knowledgefor.life
institutefor.life
instituteforlearning.life
Cheers,
- Michael
