2026 Men’s Phase One Application

Thank you for your interest in applying to the 18 Inch Journey. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please carefully read the information below regarding how our application process will work for the 2026 school:

 Men's applications will open on August 27th and will close on November 2nd. Our team will process applications in the order received. We will be building both our Roster and our Waitlist from the applications received within the application window. In the event that we fill our Roster and Waitlist before November 2nd, we will close the application window earlier. Once the window has closed, you will not be able to submit an application, regardless of where it's at in the process. If you are interested in applying for our school, we encourage you to do so sooner rather than later!

Please note that your application needs 4 things to be considered complete: 

1. Application submission fee 
2. Your application form which includes a written portion and a video portion
3. One completed Reference Form

 1. Application Submission Fee

Please pay your $15.00 application fee before submitting your application.

2. Men’s Application

Men’s applications will be open Wednesday, August 27 - Sunday, November 2, 2025. Applications will automatically close at 11:59pm EST on November 2nd.

3. Reference Form

Your application requires one reference in order to be complete and ready for processing. 

Please choose someone who knows you well and can offer perspective on the areas of your life where you need help. When considering who you will ask to be your reference, we encourage you to choose someone who you trust to offer this type of well-rounded reflection. It will be helpful to choose someone you interact with regularly and who you frequently practice honesty and vulnerability with. Please note, we do not accept references from parents or significant others.
