Alpha School

Not to be confused with ALPHA Alternative School.

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. Tuition ranges from $40,000 to $75,000 per year. Alpha asserts that students progress more quickly than peers, but these claims rely on internal analyses and have not been independently verified. The school and its affiliated organizations have drawn scrutiny for governance practices involving interconnected for‑profit vendors, as well as for their academic claims. Organizations linked to the founders have submitted cyber‑charter school applications in several states, most of which have been denied.
