Alpha School is a network of private K–12 institutions that uses AI-based, personalized one-on-one learning to compress core academic instruction into two hours per day. Afternoons are allocated to life-skills workshops such as AI Teaching Assistant, Public Sales Challenge, and Spartan Race Finisher. Classroom leaders are designated as guides and do not perform academic teaching. AI-generated personalized lesson plans are presented as the central enabler of the model. Salaries for guides start at six figures, and students can earn money for completing schoolwork to fund passion projects. The network lists 18 locations open or planned across multiple states.

"They don't do academic teaching," Liemandt said on the podcast. "If you are an adult in our buildings, you do not do academic teaching." Calling them teachers, he said, would give "the wrong impression." According to its website, the school uses AI to provide students with personalized, one-on-one learning. Liemandt said generating personalized lesson plans for kids was the "magical unlock."
