Their work. Their plan. Their record.

MMAP holds no student accounts, by design. It is built for the adults running a school. Waypoint is the separate platform where adolescents hold their own work, and it is the only place a student signs in.

Third plane work is not assignments. It is a plan the student makes and defends, an occupation that has to balance, a seminar that runs on what the group brought, and a trip they costed themselves. Software that hands adolescents a task list has misread the plane at the door.

A Waypoint work plan: the student set seven commitments for the week, three complete, one flagged for the guide, with the guide's countersignature at the top

Every screenshot on this page comes from the public demo. Cedarfield, Nadia Reyes and Dana Whitfield are invented, as is every number.

One program, two sides of the same room

You will see the same words on both products: seminars, occupations, a ledger, trips. That is deliberate, not duplication. MMAP is where the adults run the program. Waypoint is where the students live it. A school can run either alone; running both means the work and the record are the same record.

MMAP's Adolescent Program Hub: the active program, program timeline, student council, seminar sessions, portrait of a graduate, occupations and trips

The adult side of the same program, in MMAP. Montessori Makers School is our demonstration school; every name in it is invented.

The adults running the program

MMAP

Program hub, council structure, seminar arcs, occupation setup, portrait of a graduate, trips, and the microeconomy ledger at the school level. Plus the record: transcripts, progress reports, and everything the office and the board need.

The students doing the work

Waypoint

The same program from the inside. The student holds the plan, keeps the journal, runs the occupation shift, plans the expedition, and curates the portfolio. The guide observes and countersigns.

What an adolescent actually holds

Nine surfaces, all of them student-owned and guide-countersigned. Every one of these is built and running today; you can click through the whole thing before you talk to us.

Work Plan

The student sets the week: goals, commitments, occupation shifts, seminar prep. The guide countersigns it rather than assigns it. Nothing in Waypoint hands a student a task.

Journal

Private by default. The student chooses, entry by entry, what a guide may read. What stays private is unreachable by every adult in the system, including us.

Projects and Seminars

Shared work with real roles, preparation that belongs to the student, and a seminar that runs on what the group brought rather than what the guide prepared.

Occupations

The micro-economy as the students actually run it: shifts, responsibilities, a real ledger, and the decisions that come with a business that has to balance.

Self-assessment

The student claims a level and shows the evidence. The guide countersigns the claim. The system never computes a level from activity data.

Community life

Meetings with student-authored agendas, minutes, committees with terms, and a private path to ask for a mediated conversation. Adults can read it and cannot write in it.

Service

A count against the school’s own requirement, in-school positions alongside external service, verified by a guide. A count, never a meter.

Expeditions

Going out, planned by the people going: purpose, itinerary, crew roles, a real budget, and a guide countersignature before anyone leaves the building.

Portfolio

The student chooses what represents a cycle and writes the cover, then walks their family through it at the conference. Publishing freezes it as a snapshot.

The Bakery Crew ledger: market sales, ingredient costs, stall fee, and the net, next to a crew decision about raising the sourdough price or adding a third batch — An occupation with real money in it. The crew decides what happens to the net.

The guide's view: a roster with work plan status per student, a conferral feed of what students shared or flagged, and a countersign queue — The guide's side is an environment for observation and conferral, not a control panel.

A community meeting record: student facilitator and minute taker, an agenda with author attribution, minutes, and standing committees with terms — The cohort's own record. Adults can read it and cannot write in it.

An expedition in planning: purpose, three day itinerary, crew roles, a preparation checklist, and a budget that is still short — Costed by the students going, countersigned before anyone leaves.

A conference portfolio: the student's cover reflection, six chosen pieces spanning weeks, journals, a progression claim, a project and a service entry, with four more available to add — The student chooses what represents the cycle and writes the cover, then walks their family through it.

The 15 to 18 pack

A school-level setting, off unless your program runs older adolescents. A school either has that program or it does not.

•Capstones with external mentors, who are recorded as contacts and never given accounts
•Internships with verified hours
•Credits toward the school’s own graduation requirements
•A mastery record

What flows back to MMAP, and what never does

School records belong in the school’s system of record. A fourteen-year-old’s journal does not. Waypoint syncs the first and structurally cannot send the second.

Flows to MMAP

Published reports, as versioned documents
Published conference portfolios
Verified service hours against the requirement
Occupation participation
Countersigned weeks, as dates and counts

Never flows, at any setting

Journal entries, including how many there are
Draft work the student has not chosen to share
Student to guide comment threads
Community agreements and mediation requests
Anything resembling a live activity feed

That second list is not a configuration promise. There is no flag, tier, or payload version under which a journal crosses, and a student can see the whole arrangement on their own Visibility screen inside Waypoint, generated from the live permission model rather than written by hand.

Click through it before you talk to anyone

The demo is the real interface with invented data. Walk all nine student screens, then switch roles and see the same week from the guide’s side.
