AltSchool

Education Re-imagined

San Francisco · Education · Charter Schools · K-12 Education

AltSchool is creating a decentralized network of micro-schools delivering totally personalized education, enabled by technology. We’ve rethought how schools should be started, run, and networked together from first principles and developed a model that can scale exponentially to provide better schools nationwide. By coupling best practices from existing educators with the most promising technologies of the future, AltSchool meets exploding demand for better education in the $500B domestic elementary school market.
