Let’s bring Alpha School to North Boston!
We’re a group of parents working with Alpha to launch a school in North Boston. Let’s rally to make this happen!
Alpha School is a revolutionary model built around simple but powerful concepts:
Children should love school
Mastery-based learning enables kids to learn 2x faster freeing up time for life skills
Children thrive in high standard, high support environments
Why Alpha School?
Alpha is school reimagined. Exciting to kids. Rewarding. Self-paced. Challenging. Future proofing our kids.
Just 2 hours a day to reach academic excellence while giving time back to build life skills and mold well-rounded children
Powered by AI to personalize learning, addressing gaps and ensuring mastery.
Revaluing the roles of teachers (aka Guides) in schools. Letting them focus on what attracted them to teaching in the first place: inspiring, motivating, supporting every child. Alpha lets them do what humans do best!
Real-time visibility into progress.
Implement learning science and brain development research into the school. For example No lectures. No busywork.
The rest of the day is for soft skills, passion projects, leadership, play, wellness, and connection.
Who Is Alpha For?
This school only teaches for 2 hours a day—here’s why it works
Alpha isn’t for everyone. It’s for families who believe in the following:
Kids should thrive academically, regardless of how they learn.
Schools should build confidence, self-regulation, and leadership, not just teach to a standardized test.
The “fairness = sameness” approach is harming children rather than helping them reach their full potential.
Personalized learning should meet each child where they are, whether ahead, behind, or somewhere in the middle.
Families should receive frequent feedback, visible progress, and data-driven insights.
Education should be rooted in learning science, not tradition.
Kids thrive in environments that offer high standards and high support.
Future proofing kids is critical in a fast changing tech landscape.
What Makes Alpha School Different?
At Alpha, the adults in the classroom, aka Guides, are not traditional lecturers. They are mentors, coaches, and motivators who unlock each child’s full potential. Because AI handles academic delivery, Guides focus on what truly matters: inspiring a love of learning, nurturing emotional resilience, and helping students grow in confidence, grit, and curiosity. They are experts in motivational and emotional support, guiding students through challenges, mindsets, and habits that lead to lifelong growth.
Hiring is rigorous. Guides are often former teachers, entrepreneurs, or sports coaches, people who know how to stretch, support, and believe in young people. They are selected not just for credentials, but for empathy, high standards, and a coach-like ability to meet kids where they are. At Alpha, Guides are irreplaceable: the human heart of the model. While AI personalizes the academics, humans do what only humans can: build trust, nurture character, and light the spark within.

Life Skills & Leadership: goal setting, positive talk, time management, financial literacy

Books
Book offers a combination of cutting-edge brain science, the latest discoveries in behavioral therapy, and case studies drawn from the thousands of kids and teens Bill and Ned have helped over the years to teach you how to set your child on the real road to success. As parents, we can only drive our kids so far. At some point, they will have to take the wheel and map out their own path. But there is a lot you can do before then to help them tackle the road ahead with resilience and imagination.
Book written in 2008, by author of The Innovator’s Dilemma. Studies in neuroscience reveal that the way we learn doesn’t always match up with the way we are taught. To stay competitive―academically, economically, and technologically―we need to apply the proven principles of disruptive innovation to our educational system. Disrupting Class will show you how to:
• Help more students succeed through customized learning
• Meet the demand for new technology, especially computers, in student-centric classrooms
• Use disruptive innovation to circumvent roadblocks that have stood in the way of reform
• Compete in the global classroom—and help students get ahead in the global market
Filled with fresh and surprising ideas, outside-the-box strategies, and straight-A success stories, Disrupting Class will make you rethink your understanding of intelligence, reevaluate your current school program, and reinvigorate your commitment to learning. The future is now. Class is in session.
