Alpha schools

Alpha School is a private K–12 school network in the United States founded in 2014. The network uses a proprietary instructional model called 2 Hour Learning, which replaces traditional teachers with "guides" and relies on software based instruction. They find out what a student is good at and help them to get better. During their 2-hour morning "learning block," Alpha School students use personalized AI-driven software to master core academic subjects—math, reading, writing, science, and social studies—at their own pace. This high-intensity, individualized instruction is designed to help students complete a full grade level in roughly 20-30 hours. They dedicate afternoons to workshops. Key skills include entrepreneurship (pitching, selling), public speaking, financial literacy, social skills (communication, body language), and critical thinking through hands-on projects, aiming for adaptability and independence This may be the first step to having individual AI programs for each student. Right now these schools are too costly and only available to wealthy people
