Traditional schools often teach at students rather than engaging with them as partners in learning.

Alpha Schools is redefining education by replacing conventional lectures and textbooks with AI-driven adaptive platforms and peer mentorship. Each student advances at an individual pace. Your role is to guide them toward self-discovery and strength identification, not to deliver predetermined lesson plans.

This position is designed for high-achieving individuals who want to apply their capabilities to transforming an outdated education model. You will not be grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark intellectual engagement, and demonstrate that learning potential expands when students take ownership of their educational journey.

Phoenix: Over 300 days of sunshine annually with an active outdoor culture and reasonable cost of living.
Austin: A technology-centered city offering rich cultural amenities, abundant green areas, and diverse dining options.
Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-focused community experiencing rapid growth in arts, culinary offerings, and commerce.
