In this video, she answers some of the biggest questions parents ask about Alpha School — especially around screen time, AI, teachers, and social life. Kate explains why Alpha students spend about two hours a day on academics, what happens after the screens close, how TimeBack supports mastery-based learning, and why Guides are central to the student experience. She also addresses common misconceptions, including: “Will my child just sit on a computer all day?” “Is Alpha using AI chatbots to teach kids?” “Are there real adults supporting students?” “Will my child have friends and a real school community?” Alpha’s model is different, and this video is meant to give parents a clearer, more honest look at what that difference actually means.
