What One Week Looks Like

Personalized learning in the morning.Life skills that seem impossible in the afternoon.

Alpha Summer lets your child experience what a typical day at Alpha is like. Every morning starts with personalized academics tailored to their level and pace, all done by lunch. Every afternoon opens up into hands-on workshops where kids build, move, pitch, create, and do things that seem impossible. Surrounded by classmates and adult guides who support them, this is why Alpha kids love school more than vacation.

Morning

Core Skills — 2-Hour Learning

AI-powered, personalized academics in math and reading at exactly your child’s level. Mastery-based, adaptive, done by lunch.

Afternoon

Life skills workshops

Two hands-on workshops every afternoon: entrepreneurship, leadership, public speaking, martial arts, robotics, and more.

Friday

Proof you can see

Same morning academics, then the end-of-week showcase in the afternoon. You watch the work, receive the academic snapshot and student profile, and leave with proof.

“Alpha kids love school more than vacation.”

A note on one week

Alpha's life skills curriculum is a year-long journey. In one week, your child gets a genuine taste of the energy, the standards, and the kind of confidence Alpha builds over time. The goal is not to promise the full transformation in five days. The goal is to let your family feel what makes Alpha different.

Morning Academics

Personalized learning, done by lunch.
Real data you can take home.

Every morning, your child works with a personalized, AI-powered learning plan at exactly their right level. On Tuesday, you'll receive a nationally standardized NWEA MAP® snapshot showing where your child stands. By Friday, you'll have a personalized plan for what comes next.

“

“I was super skeptical about two hours of learning. Can they really learn that much? The results speak for themselves. I am now confident that my child's understanding is not only solid, it is stronger than before. There is simply no comparison to the experience we had at our previous school.”

— Elementary Parent, San Francisco

Afternoon Workshops

At Alpha, the afternoons are not filler.They are the part parents remember.

At Alpha, academics are done by lunch. The rest of the day is for life skills workshops: hands-on, team-based experiences that teach entrepreneurship, leadership, public speaking, relationships, and grit. Depending on the week and age band, your child may be building, moving, practicing, pitching, racing, presenting, or launching something real by Friday.

Active, Hands-On Proof

Not just screens

The digital work is real, but it is never the whole story. Kids print prototypes, sew projects, build robots, suture practice wounds, and bring home something concrete.

Active, Hands-On Proof

Active and hands-on

Depending on the week, students may train martial arts, run drone relays, practice survival medicine, complete parkour routes, or step into controlled combat sports.

Active, Hands-On Proof

Visible by Friday

Parents do not get vague enrichment language. They watch the showcase, open the app, scan the QR code, or hold the physical project in their own hands.

K-1Ages 5-6

"I can do anything if I keep trying"

Your kindergartener will write, illustrate, and publish a real hardcover book using AI, then stand at a podium and read it to you at The Author's Gala. They will also train in martial arts and perform a live Friday demonstration. The point is not screen time. The point is confidence made visible.

  • Dictate story ideas to an AI assistant that expands them into a narrative
  • Learn "prompt engineering for kids" — describe characters and settings to an AI image generator
  • Review and select from AI-generated illustrations for each page

Take-home proof

A professionally bound hardcover book, a "Published Author" certificate, and a digital link to order copies for grandparents

Martial Arts

Your five-year-old performs a martial arts form they learned in five days with focus and discipline you did not know they had.

Friday showcase

Parents watch their kindergartener perform a martial arts form demonstration with the kind of focus and precision that takes most people months to develop.

What happens during the week

  • Learn foundational stances from a trained instructor
  • Practice a short sequence through daily repetition
  • Build body awareness, balance, and coordination
  • Refine form with instructor feedback each day

Pricing & Enrollment

Choose one week to know.Or stay for the month and go deeper.

Once you understand the workshop experience and the academic proof, pricing should feel straightforward. Start with one week if you want a clear answer fast, or choose the month if you want your child to build more, go further, and leave with even more momentum.

Most families start here

Alpha Experience is the fastest path to clarity. Alpha Transform is for families who already know they want a deeper version of the same experience.

How to choose

Start with the question your family wants answered.

One week

Best if you want a fast, high-confidence answer about fit.

One month

Best if you already know you want depth, repetition, and a bigger build.

Either way

You still get the same Alpha guides, same workshop energy, and same academic model.

Alpha Summer Parent

“To see this type of growth in a year in a traditional school setting is impressive. To see this type of growth in 30 days... it's such a significant change in such a short period of time that it's really mind-blowing. That's just not the traditional school way.”

— Elementary Parent, Austin

Alpha Summer Parent

“They absolutely hate when I have to pick them up early. ‘You pulled me out of town hall, why would you do that? You know this, I want to be in school.’ When you hear that, it just brings joy into my heart.”

— Elementary Parent, Austin

Alpha Summer Parent

“The only thing I would say is that one thing we've noticed about the community of families that have joined Alpha thus far is that it's a real community of doers. These are people who have created things, they're entrepreneurs. They're building things out in the real world, and they're interesting and they're fun.”

— Elementary Parent, Santa Barbara

World-Class Guides

In five days, your child's guide will truly know them.

By Friday, your child's guide will know their goals, their motivations, how they handle adversity, and what makes them come alive. They'll prove it to you with a multi-dimension Student Profile delivered at the end of the week.

They know your child as an individual

A guide’s sole focus is motivational and emotional support. They learn each child’s goals, what makes them tick, how they handle setbacks, and what they need to unlock their potential. Every child is known deeply.

Motivational and emotional support, not instruction

The AI handles personalized instruction. The guide’s job is to hold each child to high standards, support them through challenges, and make sure they love coming to school every single day.

Small ratios. Real attention.

Student-to-guide ratios vary by age band: K–1 is 5:1, grades 2–3 is 6:1, grades 4–5 is 8:1, and grades 6–8 is 10:1. Your child gets real, personal attention every day — not just when they raise their hand.

What is a Guide?

The Student Profile

By Friday, your guide delivers proof.
A multi-dimension portrait of your child.

This isn't a report card. It's a portrait of who your child is, built through daily one-on-one conversations, observation at meals, academic performance patterns, and real moments of challenge and recovery across the week.

Every parent who receives this profile says the same thing: “How did they know all of this in just five days?” That's what it means to have a guide, not just an instructor.

The profile is presented on Friday by your child's guide, with specific observations and examples from across the week, as part of the enrollment conversation.

Alpha Experience · Student Profile

Presented Friday · Built across 5 days

Sample
What Motivates This Child
Mastery and peer recognition. Responds strongly to challenges framed as “can you figure this out?” rather than direct instruction.
How They Handle Adversity
Initial resistance, then strong recovery. By Day 3, was the first to re-attempt a failed challenge without prompting.
Their Social World
Natural connector. Sought out quieter peers and included them. Leadership potential is significant.
Guide’s Recommendation
Strong fit for Alpha. Recommend Level 2 placement. This child will thrive here.

“On Monday, Timmy hung back during the team challenge. He wasn't shy; he was watching. By Wednesday, he'd figured out how the group worked and quietly started organizing the workflow. Nobody asked him to. When his teammate's rocket failed on Thursday, Timmy was the first one there with a suggestion. He doesn't lead from the front. He leads from wherever he's needed.”

“
Alpha Summer Parent

“Her guide is Liam and they're really close. They have a secret handshake. And I think that's what lets him be effective - if he's got a good relationship with the kids, they'll trust him and let him coach them and motivate them to do the hard work.”

— Elementary Parent, New York

“Change is scary. But in this day and age, it's necessary. The results speak for themselves. If you are strongly considering Alpha, do it. You and your child will both thank yourselves for years.”
