What if traditional classrooms are failing students by teaching at them rather than alongside them?

Alpha Schools is reimagining education by replacing lectures and static textbooks with AI-driven adaptive learning and mentorship at the peer level. Students advance at their own speed. Your role is to help them uncover their potential, not to deliver predetermined lessons.

This position is built for high achievers who want to apply that energy toward transforming a failing model. You won't be grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark curiosity, and demonstrate that learning has no ceiling when students take ownership of their growth.

Austin: A technology-driven city offering rich culture, outdoor spaces, and a thriving culinary landscape.
Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-focused community with expanding arts, dining, and business opportunities.

Guide learning. Embrace growth. Apply today.
