thecooldown.com -- Elementary school with no teachers set to open in Chicago this year.
Alpha School is already up and running in cities across the country — such as San Francisco, Austin, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York — and will open new locations in Chicago, Palo Alto, and Santa Monica this fall.
Alpha School claims it can teach complex programs efficiently, boasting rapid learning in just two hours a day through an AI tutor — without teachers. There are adult "guides" at the school for emotional and motivational support, and academic experts available on virtual calls when students are struggling with the curriculum.
Students then spend the rest of the day in workshops that range from entrepreneurship to public speaking to outdoor education.
Tuition varies across the country, but in Chicago, parents can expect to shell out $55,000 a year to send their kids to Alpha School.
