Alpha School cuts academics to two hours a day, pushes AI-driven learning. New campuses to open in a dozen cities this fall.
The Austin-based school runs on AI tools that lead most education, letting students spend minimal time on traditional academics. It’s a sharp break from standard models, aiming to reshape how kids learn.
The launch follows growing interest and debate around AI in classrooms. Alpha School’s unique setup is already drawing attention for its lean schedule and heavy AI use. 
Students at Alpha spend just two hours daily on academic lessons, with AI guiding the experience in real time to tailor to individual needs.
The new Alpha schools open this fall, planning to scale fast in multiple cities nationwide.
