Alpha Schools, opening this fall in the former GEMS Academy in Lakeshore East, says its AI-driven model can help students learn core academics in just two hours a day, freeing up time for workshops, unique projects and learning various life skills.

Well that is a little hard to believe. I have a feeling that these kids will be woefully unprepared for college...

The school will serve 100 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, with plans to expand in the future

Oh my. I'm sorry, these kids will be woefully unprepared for high school. They will crash and burn when they get dumped into a totally different learning environment with kids whose parents can't afford $55,00 per year for elementary school tuition.

    I’ve seen this happen a billion times with private school kids. Private schools suck at teaching math. It just doesn’t happen. Those kids drown in Algebra 1.
