what and who is Alpha?

MacKenzie Price's avatar

Alpha School is a network of non-traditional private schools that make three commitments to our students: kids will love school, learn 2x as much, and build life skills. 96% of our students say they love school and our classes consistently rank in the top 1-2% in the nation.

This is possible because we're reimagining what school can be for kids:

- Mornings are for two hours of personalized, mastery-based, AI-powered academics

- Afternoons are for four hours of life skills workshops and passion projects

- Teachers don't lecture at the front of the classroom, but act as mentors, coaches, and guides for their students

I co-founded Alpha over 10 years ago and this year we'll have campuses in 50 cities. There are a million things that make us different, but I'd recommend reading this post for some of the nitty gritty: https://futureofeducation.substack.com/p/the-six-hour-school-day-is-dead-luckily
