Private school NextGen Academy opened in mid-August and is actively recruiting students, according to a representative for the school.

The school was previously going to be known as Alpha School Esports Academy and is part of the AI-based Alpha School system. Its curriculum is built around gaming and esports for students in fifth through eighth grades, and tuition is $25,000 a year.

Students complete coursework in two hours each day with an AI platform that tutors students at their own pace, and then spend the rest of the day developing other skills and interests, as previously reported by Community Impact.

The building was previously the location of Echo Park Automotive.
