The all-new online-only school green light speak Arizona State Council for Charter Schools comes with a particularity: the the academic program will be taught entirely by AI.
Charter schools – independently run but publicly funded – generally enjoy greater autonomy compared to traditional public schools in how subjects are taught. But the Unbound Academy applicationwhich offers “AI-powered adaptive learning technology” that “condenses academic instruction into a two-hour window,” is a first for the model. (Unbound's founders ran a similar program at a “high-end private school” in Texas, which appears to be in person.)
Unbound's approach leverages educational technology platforms like IXL And Khan Academyand students engage with “interactive AI-powered platforms that continually adapt to their individual pace and learning style.” There will be humans, a little less of them, and perhaps not actual accredited teachers: it will take a “human in the loop” approach with “qualified guides” who will monitor progress and can provide “targeted interventions” and supervision for each student.
Academic teaching is reduced to just two hours. The rest of the students' day will include “life skills workshops” covering areas such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, financial literacy, public speaking, goal setting and entrepreneurship. The online-only school targets students in grades four through eight.
