The high-end, AI-powered private school Alpha Schools plans to grow from a dozen to roughly 50 campuses in the 2026 school year, its founder tells Axios.
Why it matters: While traditional schools navigate how to adopt AI, Alpha Schools has created an AI-dependent classroom model that the company claims reduces screen time and increases human interaction.
How it works: Students spend no more than two hours a day on AI software to learn core subjects, Price says. They spend the rest of the day developing life skills in workshops. For example, in Austin, students organized a music festival for a nonprofit.
