Alpha students learn twice as much in half the time — and they love school again. We're building a community of families to bring this to the greater Lansing area.
Join the growing community of Lansing-area families who want a better way to educate their children. No commitment required — just let us know you're interested.
Alpha School uses the 2-Hour Learning model: AI-powered adaptive learning that lets students complete their core academics in about 2 hours per day. The rest of the day is spent on workshops, physical activity, social skills, and real-world projects.
Personalized, adaptive learning powered by AI meets each student exactly where they are. No more one-size-fits-all instruction.
Students complete their core academics in about 2 hours per day with better outcomes than traditional 6-hour instruction.
The rest of the day focuses on workshops, athletics, social skills, entrepreneurship, and hands-on projects that prepare kids for life.
Over 90% of Alpha students say they love school. No more Sunday night dread or morning battles to get out the door.

We are targeting grades K through 8. Alpha School's 2-Hour Learning model is designed for and proven across all elementary and middle school grade levels.
Alpha Schools typically operate as private microschools. The exact structure for Lansing will depend on local regulations and community needs, but the focus is on providing an affordable, high-quality option for families.
Tuition details will be finalized as we progress. Alpha School aims to be accessible and competitively priced compared to other private school options. Expressing interest now does not commit you financially.
Yes. Alpha students score in the 99th percentile on NWEA MAP assessments and learn at 2.2x the rate of their peers. The model has been independently validated and works across diverse student populations, including students from lower-income backgrounds who learn at 2.1x the national rate.
Students spend the rest of the day in workshops covering real-world skills like public speaking, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, coding, and creative arts. They also have dedicated time for athletics, physical activity, and social development.
No. Because the AI-powered learning is so efficient, students complete all their academics during the school day. Evenings are free for family time, hobbies, sports, and being kids.
Our target is to open as soon as we can demonstrate sufficient demand and secure the Alpha School partnership. The timeline depends on how quickly we reach our family commitment milestones. Join the Facebook group for the most current updates.
No. Expressing interest simply lets us know you'd consider Alpha School for your family. It helps us demonstrate demand to Alpha School leadership. There is zero financial or enrollment commitment at this stage.
