Just discovered it and I find it fascinating. It’s a sister school of Alpha School—in the news for teaching kids with AI…spoiler alert they’re actually not really it’s kind of clickbait although they do use 2-3 hours of screentime a day for gamified academics that produce very good results for motivated learners— located in Austin, TX.
The guy who brought it online is Matt Bateman. He’s described as a Montessori “expert” although it seems he has no practical experience he’s just read all of Montessori’s books and is well-versed in theory. He was also involved in guidepost but no indication that he’s to blame for that giant bankruptcy mess.
Has anyone heard of it? Toured it? It seems impossible to find actual tuition costs online (people who tweet Matt for tuition costs don’t get a response). The teachers they hired seem great (they’re probably getting paid very well) and the elementary class size is 15 kids I think. Lots of tech integration (kids have laptops and headsets that they use to do some academic drilling/revision). Here’s a tweet with an example of lesson plans in a day: https://x.com/mbateman/status/1965423562308944290?s=46
