Each Fall and Spring, we host an Academic Talk — a session designed to bring parents into the heart of what makes Alpha different. This page gives you a quick, interactive overview of our Fall 2025 Talk. From our 3 Commitments to how students learn faster, smarter, and with more joy.
Alpha students love school—it’s engaging, inspiring, and built for them.
Alpha classes learn twice as fast as their peers and rank in the top 1% nationwide.
Alpha students spend afternoons developing life skills and exploring their passions.
MAP testing shows: an “A” or “B” at traditional schools often mean a child is years behind, not ahead.
At Alpha, we believe in full transparency.
While traditional grades may show As and Bs, MAP testing often reveals students are years behind.
means 1 year ahead
to 3 years behind
means 3 years behind
to 7 years behind
At Alpha, kids not only catch up, they leap ahead.
Think in weeks not years.
Alpha students learn 5-10 times faster, mastering twice as much in two hours than in a six-hour traditional day (plus homework.)
Personalized, mastery-based learning fills gaps fast.
A full year of 5th-grade math takes only 28 hours to master.
With a few extra minutes a day kids can cover multiple grades quickly.
It gives children their time back through science based learning that works.
AI-powered personalization transforms your child’s journey, providing twice as much learning in 2 hours a day.
Engagement is everything. That’s why TimeBack provides dynamic content that ignites passion. Our academic content continues to expand delivering the most comprehensive experience for learning.
At Alpha, we grade in
1 XP point = one minute of learning. Students receive 120 XP points a day.
The most efficient and effective way to learn math… guaranteed.
XP points make progress visible, so students can move quickly to mastery.
Mastery is the goal and with TimeBack you’ll always know where your child is in their educational journey.
Learning these tools help kids unlock great math performance.
TimeBack is the solution.
AlphaRead is built to get students reading short form as quickly as possible.

Our motivational model is TimeBack.
But, it’s not the edtech alone, it’s the time back for life skills that drive the motivation,
which is supported by the work of our Guides.
10% is TimeBack
90% is motivation
This is what makes out method work
