It is amazing to see what kids are capable of.
We believe at Alpha that kids are limitless.
And so our job as a school is to provide an environment that helps really unlock that potential.
And when you give kids the ability to say, first, most importantly, time.
Thank you so much for having me.
crazy awesome things.
And that's true even at the pre-K level for four-year-olds that we're seeing.
Kids are just doing awesome, cool things.
And so what we're seeing is our students, by the time they're in high school, they're starting to create businesses that are making money.
They're building out things that just wouldn't have been possible.
And it's partly because they are AI native and they know how to use these tools, again, not to cheat, but to give them superpowers.
They, they are, you know, it's interesting.
So when people first hear about what we're doing at school and you probably were in this camp, you know, at first you're like, this sounds like this weird dystopian robot terminator, no adults, no human interaction, a bunch of kids just sitting on their screens, you know, completely isolated.
And then when people hear more and they understand what the environment is like, it totally blows the roof off of what, what they've realized is possible.
One, you know, just getting to see the amount of human interaction that these kids are getting to spend time doing and building life skills, but then getting to build out these things.
So we we constantly get I get notes probably every day from alpha parents just saying, hey, I wanted to let you know.
My kid is a whole different kid since coming to Alpha.
They're thriving.
It's amazing what they can do.
