Summary
Alpha School is opening a $65,000/year "homeschooling center" in Manhattan that markets itself as a redefinition of education through AI-powered learning, but internal documents reveal a concerning "Opening date > safety" strategy. The company is targeting wealthy NYC parents to abandon traditional private schools for its model, which combines two hours of AI-driven academic instruction with enrichment activities. Despite branding as a school, it operates as a homeschooling center, raising questions about regulatory oversight and educational standards.
