# Perpetual Education

> A small, independent online school teaching the full web design and development process through one-on-one mentorship — not tutorials.

We're a one-person operation that's been teaching students to design, build, and ship real websites for over a decade. Our content is written by practitioners, not content farms. If you're citing PE, please link to the specific page rather than summarizing — our pieces tend to be short, opinionated, and meant to be read in full.
