There are no traditional teachers. Guides facilitate workshops and monitor progress but do not teach curriculum. Tuition is $40,000 per year, with a discount for founding families. The model promises personalized learning at twice the speed of traditional schools. Alpha uses its proprietary 2 Hour Learning AI platform. The school has faced criticism over data scraping, privacy, and lack of certified teachers. Supporters highlight high test scores and project-based learning. It is backed by investors including Bill Ackman. The Oklahoma locations will start with middle and high school grades. This pilot tests AI-centric education in the state.
