  • Hey, Welcome Back!
  • Featured School: Alpha
  • Ask Crossover:Now’s Your Chance
  • You Might Have Missed…

This school doesn’t need teachers to create top 1% students. This week, Andrew tours Alpha’s Texas campus, where remote AI tutors and motivational guides replace traditional classrooms. Amazing!

Hey, Welcome Back!

No teachers, no textbooks, and only 2 hours of academic learning a day?

It doesn’t sound like school, it sounds wild.

But this school is teaching kids how to learn 2X faster than their peers AND how to succeed in life.

And they love it.  

🏫 That’s Alpha’s mission – they’re showing the world that the future of education changes everything we thought we knew about school.

It’s happening right now.

In the tech heart of Austin, Texas one campus has successfully shifted the outdated school model to something better.

Forget boring teachers. Forget late-night cramming.

And definitely forget sacrificing your social life just to pass a test.

Alpha’s students are crushing the competition using AI, remote work and motivational guides – not traditional teachers.

These kids are winning in school and in life, and they’re doing it in half the time.

How?

This week, I’m in Texas, meeting Dr. Stefanie Baduria – Head of K-8 - on Alpha’s flagship campus - to get a firsthand look at how breaking all the old-school rules is transforming modern education. Spoiler alert: it’s going to shake up classrooms everywhere.

The traditional classroom model hasn’t evolved since 1600 BC.

Look at Ancient China or Egypt - things have pretty much stayed the same since then.

But change is inevitable.

📺 There was a time when educating poor kids, girls, or people of color was unthinkable. Even having a TV in the classroom was supposed to be the end of education as we knew it.

Now we have this:

🚫 Banning AI at school (It’s outdated and wrong)

🚧 One-size-fits-all teaching (It doesn’t help individual kids)

🧠 Prioritizing memorization over real-world skills (Super ineffective)

Alpha doesn’t resist change – they embrace it.

  • Imagine a third grader coding a self-driving car.
  • Or a seventh grader pitching VC’s for funding.

That’s happening on campus.  

School has NEVER taught valuable life skills…until now.

Alpha’s model works on:

💻 2 hours a day of AI-driven learning mastery

🛠️ 4 hours dedicated to ‘life core’ skill workshops

🧭 Motivational guides that help students find their path

They’re not afraid of AI and remote learning – they’re leaning into it!

In this episode, I explore the revolutionary model at Alpha with Dr. Stef Baduria, as she walks me through how remote work, AI, and human-led guidance are creating our very first AI-native generation of leaders.

This is what learning was always meant to be.

📽️ This Week on Episode 71:

🤖 How remote AI tutors help kids learn 2X faster, every day

🖥️ How remote teams fuel Alpha’s game-changing curriculum

🚀 Why life skills like grit and leadership take center stage

💡 See Alpha’s top 1% students crush it without homework

🎓 Understand the future of school = AI + remote work revolution

After this episode, you’ll never see school the same way again.

  • What can a kid with their own personalised AI tutor achieve?
  • Equipped with skills like grit, financial literacy and public speaking?
  • Empowered by guides who help them discover themselves?

Alpha doesn’t give kids the gift of knowledge, it teaches them to be wise. This difference means the school creates leaders that build, not followers that fit.

Ready to see what happens when technology and education collide?

Watch the episode now to discover how this groundbreaking campus is set to disrupt education worldwide.

Enjoy!

🌟 Stay ahead of the curve,

Andrew
