Published opening hours show that the facility is accessible from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The published website text states that the school caters to students aged 11 through 18, spanning from Year 7 to Year 13. The curriculum explicitly rejects traditional GCSEs and A-levels in favour of a project-based approach where students build, ship, and defend real artificial intelligence projects.

Every student at the club follows the Catalyst AI Diploma pathway, engaging in increasingly ambitious project cycles instead of sitting timed written exams. Faculty members utilize artificial intelligence as a teaching instrument for tutoring, marking, simulation, and retrieval practice. Students concurrently use artificial intelligence as a daily tool to act as a co-engineer, research assistant, and critic.

The educational model features 1:1 AI tutoring, a mandatory viva defense at the end of every project, real physical artefacts such as code and hardware, and an explicit AI literacy spine. The origin of the school traces back to student participation in the 2021 semi-finals of the ANA Avatar XPRIZE global competition, where students qualified alongside the University of Sheffield.
