JOIN FOUNDERS SCHOOL
What if high school helped students build real companies?
Founders School is a new high school launching in New York City in Fall 2026 for students who are ready to build real-world success early. Students earn a college-prep transcript while developing AI-native skills, launching real businesses, and working toward the school’s boldest promise - earning $1M in profit by graduation, or their tuition is refunded.
- Real-world stakes: Help students build companies, test ideas, earn revenue, and learn through the pressure of making something people want.
- Serious academics: Founders combines a full high school education with AI-powered learning, AP preparation, and entrepreneurial development.
- Founding chapter: Be part of a new school model built around business creation, mentorship, and proof of what students can achieve before college.
Help students graduate with proof of what they can build.

MISSION
Create the next generation of founders
Founders School is an in-person NYC high school built on Alpha School’s AI-accelerated academics, with a mission to give students the time, mentorship, tools, and structure to become capable young founders.
- Create time to build: Support a school day where academics finish early and students spend hours on real ventures.
- Power the founder engine: Help turn mentorship, AI tools, projects, feedback, and accountability into a daily operating model.
- Support the whole student experience: Bring the programs, systems, operations, and judgment that help ambitious teenagers grow well.
Founders School needs builders of every kind - people who can turn a bold vision into a school day that students can feel, use, and grow through.
CULTURE
Where founder energy shapes the whole team
Founders School is for people who like high standards, fast feedback, and meaningful work close to the student experience. The culture rewards builders - people who can solve problems, improve advanced systems, and help ambitious teens move from idea to action.
- Take ownership: Be responsible for work that shapes the school day with a team of highly motivated colleagues building something new.
- Think practically: Turn big ideas into clear systems, stronger education programs, and better student support for everyone.
- Stay close to progress: Work where student growth, feedback, and real outcomes are visible every day.
This is a team for people who want their work to feel cutting-edge, useful, immediate, and connected to something way bigger than school-as-usual.
Bring your best thinking to a school built to create leaders.
IMPACT
Redefine what high school prepares students for
Founders School gives students a different kind of future - one where they leave high school with a diploma, AI fluency, founder discipline, real business experience, and proof that they can build something valuable.
- Change what high school produces: Help students graduate with more than grades, including ventures, skills, confidence, and evidence of real-world ability.
- Prepare students for an AI-first future: Support a model where students learn to think, sell, build, automate, and adapt early.
- Create ripple effects beyond one campus: You’ll prove a new education model that could reshape what families, students, and schools expect from high school.
The school helps young leaders become capable sooner, braver earlier, and better prepared for a future they will create.
