1517 fund (Medici fund) is supportive of these people. It has a discord and is generally very “anti-school”. Danielle Strachman and Nick Arnett are very understanding (and approachable) of these people.
I helped fund one (https://mobile.twitter.com/calithameridi ) to SF at age 16, upon which he immediately dropped out of his University of Washington early entrance program to join a new Thiel Fellow at his new startup. UW EEP gives you an immense degree of freedom (you can choose your own classes or skip classes) + some resources, though even EEPers often self-limit themselves to WA and the smartest WA students don’t do EEP just to gamble for elite universities (one of my EEPer friends considered most of them “normies” and unfriended them all after moving to SF)
If you know of any disillusioned teenagers, contact me and I can try to set something up (I’ve liberated more than one). I have some track record of turning people into Thiel Fellows. :)

Hack Club is also a source of them. I know some—like https://medium.com/@kevalin.create—who are trying to craft an alternative path.
