As a career college, AlphaLogic education is rooted in a student-centered approach. As opposed to educational institutions that implement traditional approaches to college teaching, where professors monopolize class time lecturing, our student-centered approach to learning involves utilizing the following methods:

• Active learning: Students are given opportunities to formulate questions, answer questions, solve problems, explain, discuss, brainstorm, or debate in every class.
• Cooperative learning: Students collaborate and work together in teams to make projects or solve problems. Aside from promoting positive interdependence, these exercises also teach individual responsibility and accountability.
• Inductive teaching and learning: Induction involves the application of inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, case-based instruction, discovery learning, problem-based learning, and just-in-time teaching. Just-in-time teaching is a two-step learning process. First students submit assignments completed independently. Then, the instructor reviews and marks them "just in time" for the next lesson, adjusting the curriculum as necessary to accommodate students' understanding of the previous material. 

Student-centered learning has consistently been shown to have superior outcomes compared to traditional teacher-focused modes of instruction. These outcomes encompass assessments involving long-term retention and short-term mastery, as well as the development of creative problem-solving skills, depth of understanding of course material, level of confidence in the acquisition of knowledge and skills, and critical thinking, and the formation of positive attitudes toward each subject learned.
