The location
Forest City, Malaysia — next door to Singapore
Network School is located on Forest City, a modern island development in Johor, Malaysia — 40 minutes from Singapore's Changi Airport and connected to one of Asia's most important financial and tech hubs. The cost of living is significantly less than Singapore, Australia, or any major Western city.
Network School at Forest City offers a unique environment: social infrastructure, water views, tropical climate, and the quiet focus of a place purpose-built for living and working without the distractions of a busy city. Singapore is right across the strait for conferences, meetings, and travel.
🏫
Network School
A global community of remote workers, founders, creators, professionals and technologists. Your membership includes accommodation, coworking space, high-speed wifi, 24/7 gym with personal trainers, 3 healthy daily meals, a content studio, and access to all programming - talks, workshops and events.
🎤
World-class speakers
Network School regularly hosts globally recognised figures in technology, crypto, health, and business. Past speakers have included founders and leaders from Ethereum, Coinbase, Sequoia, Flexport, and more. You'll learn alongside and network with people building start-ups at the frontier.
🏠
Apartment living
CREDU Academy participants live in serviced apartments rather than hotel rooms - with a kitchen, living space, and the comfort needed for a 3-month professional residency. Ideal for those who need space to work, study, and live - including those with a partner or children.
🌏
Strategic for Asia-Pacific
Easy access from Australia, India, China, and across Southeast Asia - with a comfortable timezone for working remotely. Singapore next door for flights and the broader tech and business ecosystem. Network School offers Malaysian visa support for longer stays.

The programme
Your programme, your path
This isn't a fixed curriculum. It's a choose-your-own-adventure programme built around your expertise, what you want to build, and where you want to take your practice - with structured mentoring and a cohort of no more than 10.
Network School runs a rich programme of talks, workshops and events covering AI, decentralisation technologies, the digital economy and healthy living. You participate in all of that. Around it, we tailor the CREDU Academy experience for each cohort - presenting ideas, building projects, and working toward outcomes to improve our professional futures, together.
Applications are selective. We want high-agency, curious people ready to co-create the future of the profession. This isn't a passive course - it's a working residency.
