People love it. People hate it. In any case, their model won’t leave you indifferent. This, I find fascinating. \nAlpha School is a private school in the U.S. for children pre-K to 12th grade, with 50 campuses and counting across the country. It ranks in the top 1% of schools nationally in the U.S., across all grades and subjects.\nThe three promises of Alpha School :\n- kids will love school (more than holidays)\n- kids will crush their academics in just 2 hours a day, with AI\n- kids will learn life skills (entrepreneurship, collaboration, financial literacy…)\nTwo major shifts, as they have completely revisited:\n- what a day at school looks like : 2h academics in the morning, the rest of the day for life skills & projects\n- the role of the teacher : from having to do it all, to a mentor or ‘guide’ whose main role is to motivate children\n\nI am excited to share with you this conversation with MacKenzie Price, cofounder of Alpha School.\n\n00:00 Welcome to NewKid\n00:18 NewKid Days Event\n02:03 Meet Alpha School\n03:26 Alpha School Model\n06:24 Motivation First\n11:23 Mastery and Assessment\n15:26 Parent Motivation Tips\n18:18 From TikTok to Nature Papers\n22:01 Scaling to A Billion Kids\n26:00 Challenges and Misconceptions\n27:48 Rethinking AI In School\n28:50 Kids Must Love Learning\n29:32 Hiring And Training Guides\n32:31 Mentor Mindset Parenting\n35:06 Raising Creators Not Consumers\n36:57 AI Era Education Goals\n38:47 Peer Groups And Social Skills\n42:36 Scaling Workshops Beyond Alpha\n45:46 Starting Schools With TimeBack\n47:48 Game Based Learning\n49:44 Founders School Entrepreneurship\n51:30 Closing Thanks And Applause","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BTGIa7ygmqmYkclfICI5rG2rWjAhW9Q9-QZeka6fOfk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZmRl/ZmE5ODA2NTg5MTU3/OTA1NTI0MWRmNTYz/NTY0ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
