The two hours of AI-powered learning in the morning is all focused on the core subjects that you tend to think of when you think of school.
But one thing that you will not find are lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Their whole pitch is, you know what, the days of a teacher standing in front of the classroom for six hours a day, seven hours a day, and speaking at kids, that should be over.
We're going to condense all of that into a two-hour AI-powered computer exercise.
And then after that, kids can do whatever their passion is for the rest of the day.
That's also something that they're turning on its head.
They don't have teachers, first of all.
They call the teachers guides.
And these are typically people that come from a variety of backgrounds, most of them not traditional teaching degrees.

But one thing that you will not find are lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The school says it likes to just stay out of
politics entirely and tries to keep those hot button issues out of the classroom.
That in particular is attracting people like Ackman.
He's been an outspoken critic of DEI programs.
And when he heard that things like the gender continuum would not be covered at this school, he liked the sound of that.
We've been hearing from people in Ackman's social circles that he's been hyping up Alpha School and encouraging other parents to take a look at it, get involved, see if it might be something of interest.
So he's acting as something of an ambassador for the school.
He's gone so far as to bring a set of parents down to its Texas location to show them how it works.
He's been talking it up in social gatherings, and he's even on Friday going to be interviewing the co-founder and the principal of Alpha School at an event at his Hamptons home.
