Help Ukrainian Kids Rebuild Their Educations

Kelly Fraser on November 17, 2023

Join Alpha School’s middle schoolers on a transformative service trip to Poland, where they’ll work with 500 Ukrainian students who have faced prolonged periods without access to educational resources and technology. Alpha students will provide personal connection, motivational support, and essential educational technology, helping their Ukrainian counterparts reignite their learning journeys.

Help fund this student-driven mission by attending our student-organized fundraising Star Gala! From food to decor and a silent auction, our students are driving every aspect of this event, showcasing their project management, communication, and teamwork skills.

Your support will empower Alpha students to acquire necessary technology, journey to Poland, connect with Ukrainian peers, and deliver a life-changing week of service.

Attend the Star Gala by purchasing tickets below or support our cause with a donation. Every contribution helps make this impactful journey possible!

Why Kindergarten Matters

Kelly Fraser on November 17, 2023

Alpha kindergarteners learn twice as fast as the national average, which means no matter where they come in, they end up in the top 10%, with the vast majority in the top 1% nationwide.

Here’s what that means:

By the end of Kindergarten, your kids will read chapter books like Mercy Watson and Magic Treehouse. They will know 600 sight words (most kindergartners know 25-50). They will have mastered 0-20 addition and subtraction (0-10 in under 3 seconds).

And if your child is gifted, they will far exceed this. For example, we have multiple kindergartners doing 4th grade math and reading. There is no ceiling.

But, it’s not just about academics. Students will learn valuable, limitless life skills:

Grit: They’ll be able to assemble a 100-piece puzzle (most kindergartners can only do 10-25).
Teamwork: Your child, with their classmates, will run Kindergarten’s parent night. (Parents are not allowed to help at all).
Self-driven learning: Without being taught, your child will learn how to tie their shoelaces on their own.
Overcoming fears: Your child will learn to swim in the deep end (on their own).

And above all, your child will love school. This is the foundation for their next 12 years, and they must be excited to go to school every day.

Don’t believe us? When surveyed, Alpha students report that they’d choose school over a vacation any day. Ready to make their 12 years amazing? Ask us more.
