Chicago's First AI-Powered and Teacher-Free School Opens Its Doors
Implementing the two-hour learning model developed by Mackenzie Price, Alpha Chicago offers students an AI-focused education.
Alpha Chicago, the first school in Chicago to use artificial intelligence technology and have no teachers, began its educational life on September 8, 2026.
School Location and Age Group
The newly opened private educational institution welcomes students at 350 E South Water Street and serves students from Pre-K to the 8th grade.
Two-Hour Learning Model
In the system created by Mackenzie Price, instead of traditional lecturing, an AI-powered two-hour core subject model is applied.
Throughout the day, students are accompanied by guides who support the process rather than teachers lecturing them.
Curriculum and Tuition Details
After the core subjects, the rest of the day focuses on skills such as financial literacy, technology literacy, public speaking, and entrepreneurship.
The annual tuition fee for this AI-based private school is set at $55,000.
