The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools on Monday approved an application from Unbound Academy to open a fully online school serving grades four through eight. Unbound already operates a private school that uses its AI-dependent 2hr Learning model in Texas and is currently applying to open similar schools in Arkansas and Utah.
Under the 2hr Learning model, students spend just two hours a day using personalized learning programs from companies like IXL and Khan Academy. Spending less time on traditional curriculum frees up the rest of students’ days for life-skill workshops that cover financial literacy, public speaking, goal setting, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving.
