Your kid needs two things
to learn
Academics at the right level and pace
Our AI tutor gives students 1:1 personalized education, providing coursework at their individual pace and the appropriate level. Students progress with concept-based mastery and without any knowledge gaps.
Motivation with the right reward
We motivate kids by giving them the gift of time to pursue the things they want to do and develop life skills. Adults in the room support motivated students to foster a growth mindset and independent learning.
2HR LEARNING
Our 2hr Learning model harnesses adaptive technology to provide students 1:1 learning, accelerating mastery over core subjects.
With academics completed in the mornings, they get their afternoons back to gain real-world skills and explore interests, all at school.
The truth is clear: Your kids can accomplish twice as much if they’re not sitting in a one-size-fits-all classroom the whole day. / While old-school kids zone out for 6 hours, Alpha kids learn faster and love it.

THE ALPHA GUIDES
At Alpha School, teachers shift from traditional roles like grading and writing lesson plans, to supporting students’ emotional and motivational needs and teaching life skills. This impactful transformation frees up teachers to mentor, motivate, and coach students to become self-driven learners.
Guidance:
Adults, whether teachers or parents, become ‘Guides,’ shifting the traditional teacher-student relationship to offer motivational and emotional support.
Support:
Assist students with AI-powered learning, help them develop life skills, and pursue their passions.
Motivation:
We motivate kids by giving them the gift of time to pursue the things they want to do and develop life skills. Adults in the room support motivated students to foster a growth mindset and independent learning.
