Traditional school is crumbling.
But don’t freak out. This is the best thing to happen to education in years.
The downfall of traditional school as we know it is the beginning of the golden age of education. An age that combines decades of learning science with cutting-edge technology. An age where kids accomplish more in their teenage years than many adults do in their lifetime: releasing documentaries, managing AirBnbs, coding self-driving cars, and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital to start a business.
This isn’t hyperbole or wishful thinking. It’s happening right now, all across the nation. Kids are limitless — yours included. This is possible for them, too.
But let’s rewind for a second.
“Mom, school is so boring.”
I’m MacKenzie Price, Co-founder of Alpha School, and I was once a frustrated parent just like you.
When both of my daughters came home from school and dropped a bombshell (“Mom, school is so boring,”) I couldn’t believe it. These were two girls who loved to learn, who were insatiably curious about the world around them. Clearly, school had failed them. Something had to change.
But what?
I searched everywhere — private school, Montessori, homeschooling — but nothing felt right. Every school seemed stuck in the past, with outdated pedagogies and low expectations for success.
So, I built something new.
With a bold vision and a passionate team of educators, I set out to reimagine education with a single question: “How high is high?”
And the results have been astonishing.
Meet the future of education
Alpha School is our flagship school in Austin, Texas, where:
Students learn 2x as fast in two hours a day
Classes perform in the top 1-2% in the nation
And 62% of our students would rather go to school than go on vacation.
(Sounds impossible, right? It’s not. It’s actually just the beginning.)
We’ve taken everything we’ve learned and launched eight different schools — and counting — using the same model we used to launch Alpha School.
The goal?
Help one billion children worldwide reach their full potential through AI-powered tools, personalized learning, and life skills that prepare them for real-world success.
And I’m going to share everything I’ve learned right here, with you.
If you’re a parent (or aspiring parent) who:
Is tired of facepalming at the traditional school system
Knows that your kids are extraordinary and deserve more extraordinary opportunities
Wants to prepare your kids to flourish in a rapidly evolving technological world
Then you might like to read along. You may even like to enroll your kids in one of our schools. I sincerely hope to see you on the inside.
Until then, pour a coffee. Get inspired.
