Alternative schooling is having a moment among high-income parents. 🔗 https://on.wsj.com/4p5FlL7

Families who can afford to send their kids to the best K-8 institutions are seeking new options. They’re exploring schools that prioritize life skills and call teachers “guides” or “coaches.” Some use AI-based tutors that tailor the curriculum to the child’s individual needs.

Parents considering less traditional options say AI is poised to have significant effects on the economy, so old ways of learning may no longer make sense. They also say AI tutors and hands-on learning in smaller groups offer opportunities for a more individualized curriculum.

Alpha School, which focuses on K-8, though some locations go through high school, has garnered the most attention in recent years.

Shaun Johnson, a venture capitalist who lives in San Francisco, plans to send his son to Alpha kindergarten. The school provides two hours of AI-based tutoring followed by interactive project-based workshops. The local tuition is $75,000 a year.

Johnson made the decision after being unhappy with the public school his family got in the local lottery. He didn’t strongly consider local standard private-school options.

Alpha’s main draw, Johnson says, is a more personalized way for his son to learn. The AI platform records students’ interactions, including how well they are paying attention. A child’s performance influences the curriculum for the coming days and weeks in what Johnson thinks of as a positive learning loop.

“It’s not AI for AI’s sake,” he says. “It’s personalization.”
