Why should you consider Alpha School of Massage?

Alpha School of Massage (Alpha) is the longest-running massage school in Jacksonville. Founded in 1992 and under the current management since 1995, that's over 30 years of experience and reputation building.

All that experience is now available to you online through Alpha Anywhere. Learn more at:

Learning from home, and training with our experienced instructors in a professional setting makes Alpha the right choice for anyone, and we haven’t even mentioned our debt-free program. We offer programs that cost just $149 a month and programs that can be finished in less than 20 weeks. You can learn about our programs, request a catalog, and schedule a tour below.

Franchise Opportunities Available


WE DO NOT HARD SELL.

You can visit us without having to avoid endless calls or blocking our emails. We want you to choose Alpha which is quite different from succumbing to the pressure of endless sales calls.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COST AND THE EXPERIENCE WE OFFER. (IT'S NOT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.)

We don't like debt associated with career education. We want our students to enter their search for work feeling thoroughly prepared and free from the debt burden associated with other schools. Our Advanced Massage Program does both. As a student of that program, you'll pay just $149 per month. That's possible because you'll be performing massage on paying clients. Alpha transfers the burden of the cost of education from the student to the client. You'll graduate with no loan payments, no interest, and no fees adding up, and the experience that ensures you get hired over graduates from other schools.


STILL NEED A REASON OR TWO MORE?

We'll let our confidence in the program show here by encouraging you to call potential employers!

Call a few of the massage chains and speak to their HR departments. Ask the potential employer where you should go to school. We know you won't hear us every time but you will hear Alpha most of the time. You'll learn that our students are "ready to work"!

Imagine walking into a job interview with a resume that boasts 300 massages accompanied by 100 or more client evaluations of your massage abilities. Envision telling your employer that you've performed 50 or more hot stone massages and maybe 35 barefoot massages.

I cannot believe how much more trained I am purely because of that school
