about this school

​AltSchool, established in 2013 in San Francisco by former Google executive Max Ventilla, was an ambitious educational initiative aiming to revolutionize K–8 education through personalized, technology-driven learning. The school emphasized individualized "playlists"—customized sets of activities tailored to each student's interests and learning styles—allowing learners to progress at their own pace. Classrooms operated without traditional features like bells or principals, fostering a more relaxed and student-centered environment.
