Alpha School

Alpha School is a private K-12 school network that uses an AI-powered learning platform for a concentrated two-hour academic session each day. The platform delivers personalized, mastery-based lessons based on students’ knowledge gaps and interests, with students expected to demonstrate high competency before progressing. Adults called guides focus on mentorship, motivation, feedback, and life-skills workshops rather than conventional classroom instruction. The remainder of the school day is devoted to hands-on projects such as entrepreneurship, public speaking, teamwork, financial literacy, and physical challenges. Alpha School is also developing the Time Back software platform for homeschoolers, new schools, and other educational models.
