The “school of the future” is here – and the teacher is an iPad.

Academic instruction in Price’s schools is delivered via a suite of online education apps for two hours per day, leaving the afternoons free for Cybertruck construction and tech CEO make-believe.

The company claims that this fall, seven new brick-and-mortar private schools, from New York to Florida to California, will open their doors to students.
