Hi, I'm Tate. And I'm Jackson. And today we'll tell you what it's like to have a shadow day at Alpha. Tell me, Jackson, what was your shadow day like? It was a little nerve-wracking, but at the same time really amazing. We started off the day with morning launch. Morning launch is where we have morning announcements and then we have a short 10 minute activity teaching us life skills like teamwork and independence. After morning lunch, we do core skills. Course skills is where we do our learning in two hours a day using AI. After the first half of course skills, we go to Qre. After our Q break, we are our second learning block and then lunch. >> Lunch, we go out for say 45 minutes to an hour. We're able to play with different levels and play games with our friends. >> Now, Tate, what happens after lunch? >> We do workshops. Would you like to explain that? >> So, because we only work for 2 hours, the rest of the day we do workshops with help us on life skills that will help us later in our life. And then there was Alpha World Changers where we created five minute TED talks and got to present them to families at Alpha. Now it's the end of the day which is time for closing and cleanup. At closing we do shout outs for upholding community standards or being independent in your learning. >> And then we do cleanup which is where we clean up our space and make sure it looks squeaky clean. And if you come and have a shadow day with us, you'll be able to do all the fun things that we talked about. >> We hope that you'll join us on these fun adventures. Bye >> bye.

Alpha School offers a unique 2-hour learning model Students engage in life skills workshops
The student offers a concrete view of the Alpha experience. It can help a family identify questions to ask during a campus visit, but it should be considered alongside current program details and the needs of the individual student.
This is one documented example, not a guarantee of the same experience for every student. Families should ask the campus how the program applies to their child.
