Description

LOCATION NOTE: This is an in-person role at our Brownsville, Texas campus. Relocation assistance is available.

Are you the kind of person who thrives on redefining the status quo? Do you crave an opportunity that blends challenge, adventure, and the chance to change lives? Welcome to Alpha Schools, where innovation in education meets limitless potential—and we’re inviting you to be part of our groundbreaking journey at the Brownsville campus.

Alpha isn’t a school; it’s a revolution. Forget lectures, rigid classrooms, and standardized tests. Instead, imagine a place where kids learn twice as much in half the time, guided by you—an energetic, inspiring leader—who helps turn education into a thrilling pursuit of mastery and life skills. Oh, and did we mention? We’re neighbors with SpaceX. Yes, the frontier of education meets the frontier of space exploration.

Alpha students don’t just learn. They crush academics through adaptive apps and mastery-based methods, all while developing critical life skills like public speaking, leadership, and problem-solving. We’re looking for someone who can light the spark that drives students to take on challenges and redefine their potential.

Please apply if…

  • You’re ready to help redefine what education can be.

  • Growth opportunities: We’re committed to your development through coaching, training, and leadership pathways.
  • A tight-knit, mission-driven team: Join a community of like-minded achievers who believe in reimagining education.

This is your chance to create the future of learning—and your career.

What you will be doing

  • Leading Workshops: Design and present workshops that make students say, "Wow, I didn’t know I could do that!" From public speaking to entrepreneurship, you’ll teach actionable skills that inspire.
  • Holding daily Motivation Sessions: Start each day helping students set powerful goals and the mindset to crush them.
  • Cultivating student success: Use proven playbooks to ensure every student meets ambitious academic and personal goals.
  • Creating custom motivational strategies: Work with students to design rewards and incentives that inspire self-driven excellence.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Traditional teaching: Forget chalkboards and lectures. At Alpha, students use cutting-edge apps to master core subjects—your role is to guide, inspire, and elevate their learning journey.
