The Alpha School Project: A Daring Innovation
The Alpha Schools enterprise is a highly innovative experiment in school education in the US that commenced in 2014 based essentially on the use of AI. It is a bold departure from the traditional. Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development.

This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
