-
"One of the best parts about Alpha High School is, we don't have a 75-year, 100-year tradition. We are constantly iterating and continuously trying to improve the program." - Chris Locke
-
"We want to take the best of edtech with highly motivating and coaching guides to help the kids excel academically, but to shorten a traditional school day of six to seven hours into three hours, so that we can unlock the afternoons for them to develop expertise and to pursue this passion project, which we refer to as their masterpiece or their alpha expertise project." - Chris Locke
-
"We're using and harnessing the power of AI to make our students' learning more efficient, more effective; and so that is the key." - Chris Locke

“We don't have this year's AP scores, but last year, 94% of our kids got a four or five." - Chris Locke

“We wouldn't be doing a service to our students if they never got to work collaboratively on a project, if they were always working independently. So, we create those spaces. It's not every day, but it's every day in different subjects so that they can come together, so they can work through it." - Chris Locke
