Alpha says children can learn twice as much in two hours. The software gets most of the attention, but the school around it may matter more.
Very interesting! I'm curious - would you consider sending your son to Alpha School if it opened in Singapore? Would you be likely to pay for the "One Week Inside Alpha" experience? https://summer.alpha.school/
Yeah we'd definitely explore it. Cost is a concern for us, as well as screen time, but mastery based learning with no limits is a big draw.
Alpha also claim that their students love school. Joe Liemandt said between 40% and 60% of kids said "I'd rather go to school than vacation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzoe1RYVjiA&t=937s
I imagine that is a factor in their top academic performance.
Yup, exactly - IMO the harder part about what they built is the motivation layer, not the 2 hour learning system.
