Perhaps the most important detail:
I've actually been at @Alphaschool for 10 months, and I already have my second app in classrooms.
As that sinks in, please consider the possibility that you, and most of the online commentators, don't know everything there is to know about what's happening in our schools.
Kids hold themselves and each other to a higher standard when they feel a sense of ownership.

I’m so shocked with my four-year-old and how much she loves it. Wasn’t sure how it was going to go in the beginning given her age but her love of school has genuinely surprised me.

My kids are 6 weeks into @Alphaschool Park City and my primary takeaway so far is I'm mostly jealous this didn't exist when I was a kid.

Sometimes I can't believe the lives I get to reach. I gave a talk at a space camp this summer, and the kids made sure to let me know how much my presentation had meant. Came home to artwork & a 3D printed astronaut-mermaid - thanks @Alphaschool ! 🧜🏽♀️🚀👩🏽🚀✨️

I introduced a bunch of the @alpha_founders kids to my colleague to work for us.
He just called me, “Who are these kids? These are some of the most impressive kids I’ve ever met.”
Going to be such a premium for going to this school.

The kids at Alpha’s Founders School are doing amazing things.

We wrapped up week 5 of Founders School, where 20 students are working toward building a $1M business by graduation. A few highlights 👇
Our students are on break next week while staff analyzes each student’s data to ensure we’ve delivered all three of our commitments to every student.
The students’ response: “Can we just come to school anyway?”
She just found out that she has no school all of next week and she’s sad. They truly mean it when they say kids will prefer going to @Alphaschool than taking vacations.

Yesterday at Alpha Showcase, my “shy” 7 year old spoke in front of 180 adults, then demonstrated what she learned in her BJJ workshop in this first session of @AlphaSchool.
If you told past me that she’d be acing public speaking in just a few weeks, I wouldn’t believe you.

Me: “What are paint colors for?”
Daughter: “My school sends us a survey to ask if we have any suggestions to make it better. I said I wish we had a quiet area for testing, and recommended a quiet booth.”
Me: “So they’re having someone build a quiet booth?”
Daughter: “No, they gave us wood and tools and said they’d help us. It took a while to finish framing it and the walls, they had a handyman do the door though. We still need to finish the roof, interior, and paint.”

This is what learning looks like at Alpha School South Bay LA. My 7th grade daughter started off with a 3rd grade reading test to start off school. Passed (90%+). Then passed 4th.
But she must have had a gap at 5th grade (tested at 80%). So she spent 6 days catching up and filling gaps, and then passed 5th. Passed 6th the next day.
Now she’s working on 7th grade reading. It wouldn’t surprise me if she gets up to 8th or 9th in reading this year.
That said, she’s still way behind in the other subjects. Our supposedly blue ribbon public schools failed us.
Opening and progress this year:
Math: 4th
Fast Math: 3rd / TBD - she has passed every level so far
Reading: 5th -> 7th
Language: 4th -> 5th
Vocabulary: 4th -> 6th
Science: 3rd -> 4th
What does a day at Alpha actually feel like? We invited parents to step into their students’ shoes and experience it for themselves.
We spent hours tonight @Alphaschool walking through a day in the life of our kids.
The number of parents getting humbled as they tried to solve workshop challenges or complete academic lessons was impressive.

This weekend, Alpha and Founders School begin a series of 50+ Weekend events nationwide through the rest of 2026.
Themes span the entrepreneurial stack: launching businesses and earning a first dollar, shipping apps to the App Store, creating video games people play, robotics and hard-tech intros, YouTube and other creator tracks. Pathways that turn building into something real.
Founders School exists to help millions of students develop entrepreneurial spirit and the capability to create value through business while pursuing what makes them come alive. We’re starting with a few thousand over the next couple of months.
First up: Founders Weekend in 10 cities, Saturday and Sunday.
Can't wait to stop by Austin and Miami this weekend to hang with the coolest young founders.
