Be the best in the world, not the best in high school
AlphaX is where teens build a world-class, Olympic-level masterpiece that helps them get into their dream college - or give themselves the option to not go.
When we say world-class, we mean millions in impact
Olympic athletes have a 75% chance of getting into elite colleges. The valedictorian with perfect SAT scores and a laundry list of leadership positions? Only 4%.
This is not your average class project where you launch a podcast and get 5 listeners…

Passion is discovered by doing, not by thinking about it
Whether you’re interested in dirt quality like Rhett or teen dating like Elle, no passion is “useless” to your future - even if your parents or teachers might think so.
World class results start with high standard goals. While most people go through life never knowing what they are capable of, your potential will not be unrealized here.
Both elite colleges and society rewards those who share their ideas with the world. Launch your masterpiece and achieve more in months than what others achieve in decades.
We’ve trained you to fly on your own, now it’s time to spread your wings. No more standard curriculum here, only 1:1 coaching tailored to your growth.

Raise your standards so that your results shock everyone, even yourself
You think the standards currently set for you are high, but they aren’t. Starting a non-profit or writing a book is not world class - thousands of teens are doing that.
Start setting real ambitious goals and get held accountable for putting in the work to get there. Receive brutally honest feedback every week and know that FAIL stands for first attempt in learning.
Workshops, coaching, and playbooks to motivate, guide and propel you
Every week, there are live, interactive workshops, optional mastermind sessions, and 1:1 coaches you can book at any time. Our coaches and advisors are not teachers, but entrepreneurs and startup professionals who have done it all themselves.
Our student portal is full of step by step playbooks and a trained AI assistant that can help you with your masterpiece 24/7.
a network of the most ambitious students in the world
Join a highly-vetted, one-of-a-kind peer group where you won’t need to shrink yourself to make others comfortable. Where you will be inspired and challenged to shine as bright as you can.
Students follow the same sprint cycle and progress through the program together sharing ideas, giving feedback, and collaborating as they grow.
Win up to $2000/month to supercharge your masterpiece

We keep students on their toes with other surprise rewards. Like a trip to Mexico and surprise guest speakers like Ali Abdaal.
Get into your dream college
We hope that running your own record label, mountain bike park, or multi-million dollar company is cool enough on it’s own. But if college is still your dream, we have proof that this is what elite schools want.

100% money-back Guarantee
We strongly believe that AlphaX is a transformational program with transformational results. That is why we offer a full money-back guarantee for students. If by the end of the first month of AlphaX you’re not completely satisfied with the experience, get a 100% refund. To keep this completely fair, we do require students show up and do the work.
Is Alpha X right for you?
You don't want to make a BIG impact.
AlphaX is not for the average teen. It's for exceptionally driven, the bold thinkers, and the relentless doers. Core to the program is pursuing ambitious goals. We're talking about projects that impact millions of people. If that does not excite you, AlphaX is not the program for you.
Note: You don't need to know exactly what your project will be yet! The first stage of the program is about discovering your passions, and you'll then work to define your masterpiece.
You're looking for results without effort.
There are no secrets here.
Any ambitious project takes time and effort. We'll teach you the systems, processes and proven strategies to get results and build a masterpiece with real impact and a stand-out experience for your resume.
But, we cannot do the work for you. Students should expect to dedicate 15-20 hours per week to work on their masterpiece.
You want to keep your success under wraps.
At AlphaX, we follow a 'Build In Public' approach. To find customers, investors, and partners that can have an exponential impact on your success, all students are required to share their progress publicly.
Through this approach, current AlphaX students have connected with and met with influencers like Sam Altman, Sahil Bloom, Andrew Huberman, the ex-CEOs of Bumble and Tinder and more to get advice, resources and mentorship.
All students are required to share their projects and progress on social media. You don't have to be the most extroverted person (or even use your personal accounts), but you do have to be committed to sharing your ideas with the world to generate the network that will propel you forward.
you are looking to put in the effort to outcompete the average teen’s decade in under 1 year
This is the program for you.
The truly extraordinary adventures all begin with a pivotAL moment
AlphaX was launched in 2016 as a part of the core curriculum of Alpha School, an in-person high school in Austin, Texas. At Alpha, students are treated as colleagues, each in charge of their own learning journey, with limitless potential to achieve bold and ambitious goals.
After seeing the impact on student’s growth, college outcomes and career pursuits, we expanded to a virtual format, enabling students to join from anywhere. Led by a team of entrepreneurs, educators, and creators, the program is designed to give students the personalized support, structure and accountability to reach their wildest dreams.
