View wishlistIs Alpha School worth the money?
Alpha School is a bold experiment: compress academics into about two hours of adaptive software, then use the rest of the day for projects and life skills. The model can let motivated kids move fast, but the price is very high at most campuses, and Alpha's claims of doubled learning rest on its own test analysis, not independent research. Visit, ask hard questions about outcomes and contracts, and compare it with strong local and online options.
