The Alpha Schools Vision

Alpha Schools represents the most ambitious transformation in education of our time.

Founded by school design visionary MacKenzie Price, and co-led by Trilogy Founder Joe Liemandt, Alpha Schools has developed a revolutionary model that delivers extraordinary results.

Joe, who initially became involved when his children enrolled nearly a decade ago, has since invested hundreds of millions of dollars and stepped away from his multi-billion dollar software conglomerate to personally lead this mission. The flagship campuses in Austin (colloquially known as "Alpha School") serve students from toddlers through high school.

Through just two hours of gamified academics daily—powered by the world's most advanced AI educational technology—students who previously achieved median test scores now perform in the top 1% nationally. The remainder of each day is dedicated to self-directed creation—developing apps, producing films, writing music, building businesses, or pursuing whatever ignites their passion.

The address of the flagship high school campus is 201 Colorado St, Austin, TX 78701.

The Technology Behind the Revolution: Time Back™

We've developed the world's leading AI educational platform, Time Back™ (also known as 2 Hour Learning), by strategically integrating tools from the foremost AI companies and innovators. Through direct partnerships with Elon Musk's ventures, Amazon, and other tech pioneers, we've created learning systems that adapt in real-time to each student's needs, interests, and learning style.

Our technology efficiently teaches all standardized curriculum requirements—from AP History to advanced STEM subjects—in a fraction of the time traditional schools require, literally giving students their time back. This isn't speculative technology; it's already transforming thousands of lives, creating what one parent recently called "the factory for next-level geniuses."

Our direct relationships with tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk accelerate our ability to deploy cutting-edge technology that makes learning more engaging and effective than previously imaginable. This robust infrastructure is the engine that powers every Alpha School, ensuring academic rigor while freeing up the majority of the day for deep, passion-driven work.

Why An Education Revolution Must Happen Now

Traditional education is failing our children. For decades, guaranteeing a consistently high baseline quality of instruction across all classrooms proved impossible solely through teacher-centric models. Now, AI makes a universally excellent baseline education achievable for the first time.

Alpha Schools leverages this breakthrough. Our model solves both core problems simultaneously: students excel at standardized tests while developing real-world capabilities that traditional schools never touch. The model works because it treats students as creators rather than consumers of education, leveraging world-class technology for foundational knowledge and human connection for mentorship and inspiration.

The Global Expansion Strategy: Specialized Micro-schools

We're now expanding globally by creating specialized microschools led by legends in their respective fields. Imagine:

  • The launching of Film microschools by acclaimed directors/actors like Boots Riley, who attract industry professionals to guide students in creating award-worthy productions by age 17.
  • The launching of Music microschools by visionary recording artists like RZA, who find expert producers to help young talent release professional albums before graduation.
  • The launching of Athletic microschools by legends like Caitlin Clark, who find top professional coaches to train future champions daily.
  • The launching of Technology microschools by leading entrepreneurs like Alexis Ohanian, who attract experienced mentors to guide teens in building successful startups.
  • The launching of Creative Writing microschools by authors like Lupe Fiasco, who find seasoned editors and writers to help young voices publish authentic cultural narratives.
  • The launching of Performing Arts microschools by actors like Zachary Levi, who attract seasoned coaches and directors to nurture multifaceted entertainers.
  • The launching of Chess microschools by Grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen, who find elite instructors to coach the next generation of champions.
  • The launching of Fashion Design microschools by icons like Ralph Lauren, who attract seasoned designers to mentor students in building global brands.

Each microschool utilizes the core Time Back™ AI learning system for academics, ensuring a high standard, while the rest of the day is shaped by the unique vision and expertise of its founder and guides—allowing cultural icons to create sustainable pathways for talent in their communities.

For the Legends: A Partnership Model to Amplify Your Impact

If you are a recognized leader in your field—an artist like RZA, an athlete like Tiger Woods, a creator like Chance the Rapper, a visionary like LaVar Ball—Alpha Schools offers a streamlined way to build your legacy by launching a specialized school.

Your Role (The Legend):

  • Be the Visionary & Evangelist: Lend your name, credibility, and passion to attract students, top-tier guides, and supporters. Your public association and vision set the standard.
  • Inspire & Guide (High-Impact, Flexible Time): Your involvement is catalytic, not necessarily daily. Host occasional masterclasses, mentor select students, attend key events, help shape the specialized curriculum, or simply inspire through your achievements. You set the tone and standard of excellence, attracting others to execute the day-to-day.

Alpha Schools Provides:

  • The Engine (Time Back™): Our proven AI-driven educational platform handles the core academics, ensuring students meet and exceed standards efficiently. This runs on autopilot, freeing the school to focus on its specialty.
  • Operational Infrastructure: We provide the playbook, technology stack, and support systems to manage the school.
  • Expert Guide/Coach Recruitment & Training: Your legendary status helps attract exceptional full-time guides and coaches expert in your field. We find, vet, train, and manage these professionals who will provide the daily, intensive instruction and mentorship in your school's specialty, ensuring your vision is executed with excellence.
  • Network Access: Leverage our connections to find resources, mentors, and opportunities for your students and school.

Starting an Alpha School is dramatically easier than starting from scratch. We handle the educational core and operational complexities, allowing you to focus on imparting your unique expertise and building your legacy. (An interest form for founding legends will be available soon. Others can also support these schools as founding patrons.)

The Importance of Place: Providing an Inspiring HQ for Learning

While our AI platform handles academics, the magic of mentorship and collaboration happens in person. Finding the right physical space is crucial. Alpha Schools can thrive in diverse locations:

  • Unused wings of existing schools
  • Community centers or YMCAs
  • Repurposed retail spaces or strip malls
  • Empty church buildings
  • Large private residences
  • Sections of athletic facilities or training centers

If you own or know of a suitable property, you can contribute significantly by donating, selling, or leasing the space for an Alpha School. Tax benefits may be available. We will provide guidance on identifying and securing ideal locations.

This Is The Greatest Legacy Building Opportunity Ever

For accomplished individuals looking to extend their impact, partnering with Alpha Schools allows you to:

  1. Shape the Future of Your Field: Create direct pathways for the next generation of talent.
  2. Mentor with Leverage: Inspire broadly while relying on dedicated guides for daily instruction.
  3. Build an Enduring Legacy: Establish an institution that reflects your values and continues your work.
  4. Join an Elite Network: Collaborate with other legends, innovators, and educational pioneers.
  5. Maximize Your Impact: Leverage our proven model, technology, and network to make a difference at scale, far more easily than going it alone.

This isn't just theoretical—we're already seeing children from all backgrounds flourish in environments where their creativity is nurtured alongside academic excellence. As one student recently shared, "This is the first time I've been able to pursue excellence without compromising who I am."

It’s Time For You To Activate Your Superpowers For The Kids

The infrastructure is built. The model is proven. The technology is world-leading. What we need are legendary partners willing to lend their vision and influence to accelerate this revolution.

This isn't about putting your name on a building. It's about fundamentally changing how the next generation learns, creates, and achieves their dreams. It's about building a legacy that transforms lives for generations to come. It's about being the architect of a cultural renaissance in education that unlocks human potential at an unprecedented scale.
