The Altschool project  in California is a completely new learning system. It is not similar to any of the existing in the world at the moment. A day at AltSchool begins with the child opening his profile in a special application on the iPad and viewing the schedule of his day. There is a mark on the beginning of the school day. Each student has his own list of assignments - individual and group. All tasks pursue a specific goal. At the beginning of each day, children make a personal schedule.

At AltSchool, each student gains personalized learning experiences in micro-communities with between 80 and 150 students. They are divided into three groups, but the usual division into junior and senior classes is absent.

Children use the My.AltSchool app. The developers of Apple, Google and Uber took part in its development. The application monitors attendance, academic performance, forms a personal training plan and monitors the student’s personal characteristics.

The workspace is created independently: from classrooms and desks, and even buildings in the form of an attic for your own projects. Pupils attend various classes all day. The learning process includes game moments, compliance with the rules of order and maintaining cleanliness.
